Footprints In The Sand
Posted By: Kerrowdown, 12-05-2021, 07:21 AM

My image reminded me of this poem by Mary Fishback...

"One night I dreamed a dream.
As 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.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I 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 was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would 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."

Combining photos and poems is a very good idea, generally IMHO. And this picture + poem is a great proof for that idea.

Not so sure that would go down to well with Lady Kerrowdown... but I'll tell her, you said it was ok.
I *meant* your wife...
