| Footprints in the Sand |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â other times there were one set of footprints. |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This bothered me because I noticed |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â that during the low periods of my life, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â when I was suffering from |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â anguish, sorrow or defeat, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I could see only one set of footprints. |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â So I said to the Lord, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â “You promised me Lord, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â that if I followed you, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â you would walk with me always. |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â But I have noticed that during |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â the most trying periods of my life |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â there have only been one |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â set of footprints in the sand. |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Why, when I needed you most, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â you have not been there for me?” |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The Lord replied, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â “The times when you have |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â seen only one set of footprints, |
| Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â is when I carried you.”
I then replied to the Lord, “How about just getting us off this F’ing beach!? is that too much to ask!? You have a nice, safe, quiet beach house right up there! Why do we have to stay on this dumb beach?” The Lord replied, It’s kinda’ like holding a magnifying glass to ants. You know it’s wrong, but hey…what r they gonna’ do.
Yeah, I went there. LOL

Hahahaha, that’s a frigging sweet poem.
Donnie has “set me straight”. I will never again post any view, but the conformed reasoning of the masses. I will blindly follow the views and practices that got us to this site in the first place. I am sooo glad that Donnie took the time to show me the light. I was just starti….shit, I lost the light. Donnie!!! Help!!!
Thanks. Anybody figured out a way off this wretched beach, yet?
i didn’t read the poem because i’m lazy and i can’t be bothered to read half the stuff that gets posted on here.
however, i loved the wiggly text effect. that is really cool.
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 were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the 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,
â€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 have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?â€
The Lord replied,
â€The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints,
are when we fell into a single file line,
so I could do you from behind.
This may explain those
hard times you were going through
as well.”
Thanks. It’s like a slide down an infinite hole.
i didn’t not read it because it was wiggly. i didn’t read it because i’m lazy.
however, since you went to the trouble of posting it again, i thought i’d make the effort, too. i’ve now read both versions.
i have nothing else to say.
Fucking hilarious…I’m not supposed to be laughing 🙁
Actually very good 🙂
