Footprints

One night I dreamed I was walking along
the beach with the Lord. Scenes from my
life flashed across the sky. In each, I
noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes,
there were two sets of footprints,
so I said, "Lord, you promised me,
that you would walk with me always.
Why, when I have
needed you most,
would you leave me?"
The Lord replied, "My precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
The times when you
have seen only one set
of footprints, it was
then that I
carried you."

 Love Lives On

Those we love remain with us,

for Love itself lives on.

Cherished memories never fade;

because one loved is gone.

Those we love can never be

more than a thought apart,

for as long as there's a memory

they live on in our heart.

Think of her as living

in the hearts of those she touched,

for nothing loved is ever lost,

and she was loved so much.
