It has been very long since I first read this poem 'God's Footprints' by Ken Brown. But I have never been able to forget it ever since. So I wanted to share it with my readers.
'God's Footprints'
By Ken Brown
One night in deepest sleep, I dreamed,
Upon the beach I walked.
The Lord was by my side each step
As quietly we talked.
Then on the sky my life appeared;
Each chapter was serene.
Two sets of footprints in the sand
I saw in every scene.
And then I noticed in some parts
Of discontent and strife,
Just a single pair of footprints
In the worst times of my life.
"Lord, you said you'd walk by me
In good times and in bad.
Why then weren't you with me
When you knew my life was sad?"
"My dearest child," God whispered,
"When you suffered then, I knew;
The single pair of footprints
Were those times I carried you."

This is one of the best poems I have ever encountered for evoking an emotional response in me.
Thanks for posting it.
Good One!
This is always true. It is always our perception that is at fault, never God. He is there when we need Him, but we do need to LOOK!
This is a great poem, however, it was not written by Ken Brown. This is by Mary Stevenson, and was written in 1936.
