One night I dreamed I was walking along the 바닷가, 비치 with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow 또는 defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
당신 would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed 당신 most,
당신 have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when 당신 have
seen only one set of footprints,
is when I carried you."
