A few years ago when I attended a English class which we studied about Tannisho in English, our English teacher who used be a christian told us aobut this beutiful poem. At that time I interpretted a bit different from original. But I have liked this poem very much.
I'd like to quote it here today.
"Foot Prints" written by Margaret Powers
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scenes he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonged to his, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scnene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.
in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'dwalk with me all the way. But I noticed that duting the most troublsome times in my life there was onlhy one set of footprints.
The Lord replied,"my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial nad suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then I carried you."
