Footprints
                          A poem By Mary Stevenson

           One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the LORD.
	           Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
	             In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
	           Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
	                   other times there was only one.
	         This bothered me because I noticed that during low,
	       periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish,
                sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, 
		                 So I said to the LORD,
		                You promised me LORD,
		                 that if I followed you,
	                    you would walk with me always.
         But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
                 there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
        Why, when I needed you the most, you have not been there for me?
                                           The LORD replied,
                The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
	               	   my child, is when I carried you.
