Butt Prints In The Sand
[This piece was posted many, many years ago to the old PODSNet BBS systems. I ran across it tonight while looking for something related to PODSNet. It’s a slightly different version of the more famous “I had a Dream” aka “Footprints in the Sand”. If anyone knows who actually wrote it, please let me know, so that I can correct the “author unknown’.]
BUTT PRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I had a wonderous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
“The footprints of the Goddess,” I swore,
But mine were not along the shore,
Then some stranger prints did appear,
and I humbly asked Her, “What have we Here?
These prints are large and round and neat,
Much too big to be from feet.”“My child,” She said in somber tones,
“For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.You would not learn, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know,
So I got tired, I got fed up.
And there I dropped you on you butt.Because in life, there comes a time
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand.”
