I Carried You

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."
