Answer #1

Why did you answer your own question…that just makes you look like a jackass, as for the question no never heard it in my life

Answer #2

I really love this poem and I am not actively religious.

I find it very moving.

PS This is the version I prefer:

One night I had a dream– I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.

For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand.

I noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.

“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints.

“I don’t understand why in times when I needed you most, you should leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering.

“When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Although I am not religious, at times when I have been at rock bottom, I have found a source of energy I did not know I had and worked my way back up again. At these times it felt like a friendly ‘angel’ (not sure if this would be the right word) gave me a shoulder to lean on until I was able to stand on my own two feet again.

I think this is why the above poem moves me so much whenever I read it.

This is the poem I think you are talking about:

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 were one set of footprints. 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 noticed that during the most trying periods Of my life there have only been One set of prints in the sand. Why, When I have needed You most, You have not been there for me?” The Lord replied, “The times when you have seen only one set of footprints Is when I carried you.”
