Reading – Footprints in the Sand One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. "Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me." He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.

Poem - ‘I miss you mum' – I wake each morning to start a new day But the pain of loosing you never goes away I go about the things I have to do And as the hours pass I think again of you I want to call you just to hear your voice Then I remember I have no choice For you are not there and now my heart cries Just to see you again to tell you goodbye To say mom I love you and I always will And hope that much of you, in me you have instilled The day that you left, I just didn't know That you were going where I couldn’t go Ànd now all my memories of you are so dear But gosh how I miss you and wish you were here Who now can hear me when I need to cry? Its so hard to tell you, Mum goodbye. Someday I know all will be well And I will see you again with stories to tell Of how you were missed and how we have grown And how good it is to finally be home Until then my memories of you, I will keep near And I’ll pass them onto those who are dear
