Footprints In The Sand

When I was about 13 years old, I found a poem that I fell in love with and never forgot its meaning. Most of you know it. It is called "Footprints In The Sand" and the author is Anynomous. This poem helped me through many trials growing up and was always with me with any pain or troubles I was having.

I recently found a song by Leona Lewis with the same title. The message is the same and I can listen to this song over and over again for the inspiration I need to keep going even through life's trials. I have been feeling very blessed lately as God has given me the strength to survive the life of a soccer mom who works and goes to school all at the same time. I am thankful for our health and our happy little family. There are always trials and tribulations, but I know that through God's help and our own faith, we WILL get through anything. Here are the lyrics:

You walked with me, footprints in the sand

And helped me understand where I'm going

You walked with me when I was all alone

With so much I know along the way

Then I heard you say

I promise you, I'm always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life flash across the sky

So many times have I been so afraid

And just when I have thought I lost my way

You give me strength to carry on

That's when I heard you say

I promise you, I'm always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despiar

And I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

When I'm weary, well, I know you'll be there

And I can feel you when you say

I promise you, I'm always there

When your heart is filled with sadness and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand
