Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Scenes from his life flashed across the sky
and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life had flashed before him,
he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life
there was only one set of footprints.

Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
I don't understand why, when I needed you most,
you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering
when you saw only one set of footprints...

That was when I carried you."

I need.....


I need a shoulder to cry on.

I need a hand to hold when I can't handle a situation.

I need heart to laugh beside,

and a mind to study with.

I need sturdy feet to carry me.

I need wobbly knees to kneel and pray with and for me.

I need ears that will listen,

and a mouth that will never fail.

I need arms that will be wrapped around me in love abound.

I need fingers that will gently go through my hair everyday when I cry until I fall asleep.

I need eyes that will see who I really am, and love me for that reason,

and I need a gentle being that will never leave my side.

Never can someone be perfect for my soul, nor can I be perfect to them, but all I want/need is some real love.
