One night I had a wondrous dream, > One set of footprints there was seen, > The footprints of my precious Lord, > But mine were not along the shore, > But then some stranger prints appeared, > And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?" > Those prints are large and round and neat, > "But Lord, they are too big for feet." > "My child," He said in somber tones, > "For miles I carried you alone. > I challenged you to walk in faith, > but you refused and made me wait." > "You disobeyed, you would not grow, > The walk of faith, you would not know, > So I got tired, I got fed up, > And there I dropped you on your butt." > "Because in life, there comes a time, > When one must fight, and one must climb, > When one must rise and take a stand, > Or leave their butt prints in the sand." > > > |
