<font size=4>One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand
one belonging to me and one to my lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
There was only one set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest
and saddest times of my life.
This always bothered me
and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
“Lord you told me when I decided to follow You
You would walk and talk with me all the way.
But I'm aware that during
the most troublesome times of my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I just don't understand why
when I needed You most You leave me.”
He whispered
“My precious child
I love you and will never leave you
never ever during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints
It was then that I carried you.”
