Butt Prints in the Sand
One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there were seen
The footprints of my precious Lord
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger 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
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."
