: : Hiya! Dunno who wrote it, but I recceived this
take-off on the "Footprints in the Sand" poem in my e-mail
recently. It's not only cute, but also sooooooo true!
Also explains the sand I keep finding in uncomfortable
places..... ;{
: :
: : BUTT PRINTS IN THE SAND
: : One night I had a wondrous dream,
: : One set of footprints there was seen,
: : The footprints of my precious Lord,
: : But mine were not along the shore.
: : But then some stranger prints appeared,
: : And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
: : Those prints are large and round and neat,
: : "But Lord, they are too big for feet."
: : "My child," He 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 disobeyed, 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 your 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."
: WONDERFUL. Oh, yeah...
: Like the famous song by Cansass:
: I close my eyes...
: ...only for a moment and I'm comatose
: All my dreams...
: ...pass before my eyes but I remain morose
: Butts in the sand...
: ...all we are is butts in the sand.
: Same old song...
: ...just a print of butt-cheeks on a sandy beach
: All we've done...
: ...crumbles to the ground as we fall back asleep
: Butts in the sand...
: ...all we are is butts in the sand.
: Don't hang on...
: ...nothing last forever but our risen King
: We slip away
: ... but still we will not shift our butts for
anything
: Butts in the sand...
: ...all we are is butts in the sand.
