as many of you know, i've been struggling with depression or some crap like that recently, and i'd like to share a poem that has meant a lot to me over the years.
last night i dreamed a dream.
i was walking along the beach with my lord.
i noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to me and one to my lord, jesus.
after the last scene of my life flashed before me,
i looked back at the footprints in the sand.
i noticed that at times along the path,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
this troubled me, so i asked of jesus.
"my lord, you said that if i followed you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
but i noticed that during the saddest most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
when i needed you the most, you left me."
jesus whispered, "my foolish, precious child, when you
saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that kansas was beating ou."
