Sen, jeden z niewielu, jakie ma pamięć zachować zezwoli. Plaża ogromna, dziewicza się ściele, a na niej Jezus, kroczący powoli. Ujrzał mnie nagle. Przywołał do siebie.
Nagle się niebo całunem nakrywa.
My wciąż idziemy równym, wolnym krokiem,
Nagle niechcący do tyłu spojrzałem:
Patrzyłem w niebo obojętnym okiem,
Spytałem: "Panie! Czemu nasze ślady
raz są podwójne
"Synu - Pan rzeknie - gdy jesteś
w swym życiu

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 was one only. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?" The Lord replied, "The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you." |
