On Prints in the Sand: We can never get enough inspiration, right?

Tim liked this poem. And Tim has taste.

I googled the poem and apparently it is in public domain. I don't know exactly what blog Tim found it on, but to that blogger, thank you. -gw

Hey Friends - I ran across this inspirational poem on a blog that was linked to Baha'i Views . Who knows, maybe everyone has seen it already. I know these things get all over the internet. Anyway, I figure we can never get enough inspiration, right?

Prints in the Sand

One night I had a wondrous dream

One set of footprint there was seen

The footprints of my precious Lord

But mine were not along the shore

And then some strange new prints appeared

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 alone,

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 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

I always like to include a picture with each post. I only do Creative Commons-licensed photos these days, and my first choice for the photo I wanted to include with this poem is not so covered, butt you can find it here. -gw
