I dreamed once and behold
I was walking on the beach at low tide.
I was not alone there,
for the Lord too was walking by my side.
We walked through life together,
leaving in the sand
a trail of steps; two by two,
the Lord walked by my hand.
I stopped and looked behind me,
and saw my life's journey,
in times of happiness and joy,
of deep sorrow and hope.
But when I looked closely at the track,
I saw all along the track,
right where it was most difficult,
only one pair of steps stood.
I then said "Lord why then?
Just when I needed You,
just when I could see no way out for myself,
on the toughest part of my path..."
The Lord then looked at me full of love,
and answered my questions;
"My dear child, when it was hard ,
then I carried you..."
