Footprints in the Sand"

Upon life's vast and shifting shore,

I walked alone, my heart unsure.

Through trials deep and burdens grand,

I found solace in the prints of sand.

*****

With heavy steps, I journeyed on,

Each footprint etched, a story drawn.

In moments of despair and strife,

I sought guidance in the sands of life.

*****

As storms raged fierce, and shadows grew,

I felt defeated, my strength withdrew.

But in the depths of my darkest hour,

Footprints emerged with divine power.

*****

For in those moments of sheer despair,

When life's burdens seemed too much to bear,

A gentle presence walked by my side,

Carrying me when my strength had died.

*****

I questioned, "Why, in my deepest pain,

Were there only one set of prints to gain?"

With weary heart and trembling soul,

I sought answers to make me whole.

*****

A whisper carried by the ocean's breeze,

Said, "My dear child, it was then with ease,

I lifted you high and carried you through,

When your strength faltered, I carried you."

*****

Tears fell like raindrops upon my face,

As I realized His love, His endless grace.

In every trial, in each trial endured,

His love and support had always assured.

*****

For in those moments of darkest strife,

When I walked alone, through the storms of life,

He bore my burden, He held my hand,

Leaving footprints in the shifting sand.

*****

Now as I walk this earthly plane,

I know His love will always remain.

With every step I take, I understand,

He walks beside me, in the sand.

*****

And when I falter, when I lose my way,

I'll look behind, where footprints lay,

And find comfort in His guiding light,

As He leads me through the darkest night.

*****

So let the tides of life ebb and flow,

For with Him, I'll never be alone.

In footprints left upon life's shore,

His love endures forevermore.
