In deepest sleep one night
I dreamed that on the beach I walked.
God was by my side each step
And quietly we talked.
Then on the sky my life was flashed;
The visions all serene.
Two sets of footprints in the sand
Were there in every scene.
But then I noticed in some scenes
Of suffering, pain and strife...
Just a single set of footprints
At the worst times of my life.
God...You said you'd stand by me
In good times and in bad...
Why then did you leave me
Each time my life was sad?
My precious child, God answered,
When your life had pain I knew.
The single set of footprints
Were the times I carried you.
