Footprints

FOOTPRINTS Written By: Liya Gonzalez A young lady sitting at her table Thinking of how her time in life was spent, Realizing all shes been through She bowed her head and said... "Dear Lord I've been through much But what I failed to see, Was that through all my struggles You were always there with me" She thought of all she'd done Of how before she blamed him for everything, How she drifted from her faith And how she'd taken for granted life's happenings She wondered how she let things go Of how she could have doubted him, And in her sadness she lowered her head And once again out loud she said... "Dear Lord I've been through much But what I failed to see, Was that through all my struggles You were always there with me" As she sat there silent She realized she felt free, Not knowing what would happen next A voice began to speak... "My daughter I feel your sorrow But you must let it go, Now that you've spoken from the heart I want you to listen and hear me so" "You may have blamed me for everything But I stood there anyway, Because I knew you did not mean it You always thought back at what you'd say" "I felt the heaviness in your heart But I knew you loved me anyway, And when you felt you couldn't go on You always reached out to me in such a way" "I carried you through all your struggles Because this is my destiny, To help those I gave my life for Reach the golden gates you see" "A lot of them may not feel I'm there But that's only because they doubt their faith, They see not that in there struggles I am standing not to far away" "You may not see me and you may not hear me But know I'm always there, As long as you have faith in me Two extra footprints will always be there"
