The Footprints Prayer Trees by Joyce Kilmer

One night I had a dream. I dreamedthat I was walking along the beachwith the LORD.

In the beach, there were two (2) setsof footprints – one belong to me andthe other to the LORD.

Then, later, after a long walk, Inoticed only one set of footprints.

“And I ask the LORD. Why? Why?Why did you leave me when I am sadand helpless?”

And the LORD replied “My son, Myson, I have never left you. There wasonly one (1) set of footprints in thesand, because it was then that ICARRIED YOU!

I think that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prestAgainst the earth’s sweet flowingbreast;

A tree that looks at God all day,And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wearA nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,But only God can make a tree.
