Butt Prints in the Sand

[Guest guest]

One night I had a wondrous dream

One set of footprints there was seen,

The footprints of my precious Lord,

But mine were not along the shore.

But then some stranger prints appeared...

And I asked the Lord, " What have we here?

Those prints are large and round and neat,

But Lord, they are too big for feet. "

" My child, " He said in somber tones,

" For miles I carried you along,

I challenged you to walk in faith,

But you refused and made me wait. "

You disobeyed, 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 come 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. "
