Notes About The Poem

1938 Poetry Contest

Sponsored by Brian Strand

One set of footprints

There are times in my grieving journey
that I am reminded of the love of God
as he holds me close and carries me
through this very hard journey

He puts people in my path specifically to
help me, I wholeheartedly believe
He prompts people to check on me,
when I am not ok, so I have a friend to lean on

He helps me to concentrate when I absolutely
can't read the page in front of me due to grief brain
He walks with me on this journey in a way I have never
felt before, and I am very grateful
