Butt Prints In The Sand

[lemming]

One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen.
The footprints of the Goddess they were,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared
and I asked Her, "What have we here?"
These prints are large and round and neat,
But much too big to be from feet.
"My child," She 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 would not learn, 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."


Saw this on the web and giggled. And it's true...

So don't let em grind ya down or f*ck ya up (and there's myriad ways you get f*cked up), someone'll always be there to help you along but it's your path to tread regardless... so walk it with as much dignity as you can muster!

Still here

Footprints In The Sand

Missed ya RF!

And the original, purely for completists sake! (my Mum's had a fridge magnet of this for years):


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
