Poem of the week
Footprints in the Sand
(The authorship of the poem is disputed, with a number of people claiming to have written it.)
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to him and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
He looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that at many times along the path of his life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled him, so he asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
During your times of trial and suffering
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
