Footprints - Fridge Magnet

One Night I dreamed I was walking
along the beach with God,
and accross the sky
flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonged to me and the other to God.
I noticed that at times
there was only one set of footprints
and that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times of my life.
I questioned God about it.
"I dont understand why, in the times
when i needed you most
you would leave me."
God replied, "My precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you
during your times of suffering.
When you see only one set of footprints
it was then that i carried you."
