Description One night I dreamed a dream.
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.

When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
There was only one set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest
And saddest times of my life.
This always bothered me
And I questioned the Lord
about my dilemma.

"Lord, You told me when i decided to follow You,
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 need You most,
You leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child,
I love you and will never leave you,
never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you say only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."


This was written by Margaret Fishback Powers. For many years it has gone by as written by "Unknown". What happened was when Margaret moved house, a box of her best poems, stories and awards got lost during the move. There is a big long story behind it but that's the basic. This was actually first titled "I had a dream" as it was a dream she had one night.

interesting poem. I'm not a religious person either
for reasons unknown, I just love footprints in the snow. And I love this photo, especially 'cause it was snowing when you took it...I don't know why, but it makes me think of the snow queen story

People have erected walls around themselves, instead of building bridges.

Snow dust on a bridge
Faint footprints going, coming.
