Footprints
Footprints
Hello people, I have always loved this poem and I was thrilled when I came across this copy, I hope you enjoy it as well.
One day a man
had a dream. He dreamed
he was waking along
the beach with the Lady. Across
the sky flashed scenes from his
life. For each scene, he notices
two sets if footprints in the
sand, one belonging to him and
the other the Lady.
When the last scene of his life flashed
before him, he looked back at the
footprints in the sand and noticed that
many times there was only one set of footprints. He
also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lady about it, "Lady
you said that once I decided to follow
you, you would walk with me all the way
but I noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, the is
only one set of footprints, I don't
understand why, when I needed you
most you would leave me."
The Lady replied "My precious,
precious child. I love you and I would
never leave you. During you times of
trial and suffering, where you saw only
one set of footprints, it was then that I
carried you."
