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, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."


^.~ i'm not that big on religion but this poem was always something that stood out to me and when i think of what heaven would be like this poem stands out in my head and well there it is i hope u enjoy

It's not so much a poem but an inspirational prose. It was always my favorite too, and it always made me smile and feel.... lighter I guesse. You captured it perfectly.

Congratulations pyrobarbie! "heaven" is awarded first place for Contest Week 28: HEAVEN! Pyrobarbie did an excellent illustration of the ever popular "Footprints in the sand" poem. I particularly like how it shows the transition from the beach to the gates of heaven, it's straight forward and well composed. Good job.
