I was looking at that “Footprints” thing the other day and I realised it was missing something. So I thought I’d take a swing at finishing it. See what you think.
“The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
The man thought about this.
He thought about it for a long, long time.
Finally he said ,”Bulls*it!”
When the time of trial came, I faced it alone.
There were only one set of footprints because I was standing on my own two feet .
Against all that the world could throw at me.
And I endured.
You? You weren’t there.
You weren’t ever there.
And I didn’t need you.
I never did and I never will.
There came no reply, just silence.
It was then that the man knew .
It had always been … just silence.”
