Then on the sky my life was flashed; the visions all serene.
Two sets of footprints in the sand were there in every scene.

But then I noticed in some scenes of suffering, pain and strife...
Just a single set of footprints at the worst times of my life.

"God....you said you'd stay with me in good times and in bad...
Why then did you leave me each time my life was sad?"

"My precious child," God answered, "When your life had pain, I knew.
The single set of footprints were the times I carried you."
