Hello......Has any one heard about Footprints or read the poem. I have a book on Footprints and I found it real cool.......I took it on my hike that I was on and it helped me appresheat the hike more....I was mostly on the beach for the hike. Anyway it talks about the poem Footprints and it brakes it down verse by verse.....It tells how that verse is related to a few Bible verses. For exp. God is with us...In our Dreams "One night I dreamed a dream." then it would mach it up to a bible verse. like this. [Jacob] had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.-Genesis 28:12

Love to hear from you if you have heard this or read the poem.

I'm like, pretty sure every Christian has read it at least once.

I think LondonCalling is correct. It is a very encouraging poem. I'm pretty sure it was around before 1997 though Thakladd.

huh?

of course it was around before 1997. the Website I posted have only explored the history of the poem, and they stared in 1997.

the original was probably written in 1936 by Mary Stevenson - You find three different versions here:

Is it the one containing the part that goes, "Lives of great men all remind us we can make our live sublime, and, departing, leave behind us footprints on the sand of time. Footprints that perhaps another, sailing o'er lifes solemn main- a forlorn and shipwrecked brother, seeing, shall take heart again. Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor, and to wait"?

I had to memorize all that in like the sixth grade. Still remember it. It's one of those poems that kind of sticks with you I guess.

Have a keychain with the poem, shaped like two feet, and it's connected to my wallet chain....groovey stuff.

God Bless,
