Footprints

I went to a funeral today.... 2/28/09 and it was my grandpas funeral. He died because of cancer. and they handed out this poem and it really made me want to cry so I'm going to tell you the poem.

Here it goes.

One Night a man had a dream.......
He was walking along the beach with the lord, and across the sky flashed scenes from his
life. In each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. one made by him and the other made by the lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked at the foot prints in the sand,
and noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of foot prints.
He also noticed that it happened at the worst times of his life.

This bothered him, so he asked the lord about it.
"Lord you said that once I descided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But, I've notice that during times of trouble there is only one set of foot prints.
I don't understand why you left me when I needed you the most."

The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and would never leave you... During your times of trouble when you see only one set of foot prints,
I was carrying you."
