Footprints
One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along 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 flashed before me,
I looked at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
there was only one set of footprints. I realized
that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life.
This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord
about my dilemma, "Lord, You told me
when I decided to follow You, that 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 would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and will never leave you. During your
times of trials and testing, when you see only one set
of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Your question was who wrote "Footprints In The Sand."
There were two women who wrote a similar poem.
The first is Mary Stevenson her poem was written
in 1936. The second is Margaret Fishback Powers,
her poem was written in 1964.Margaret Power'
Footprints poem was written 28 years after
Mary Stevenson wrote the original poem.
