Footprints For Children

The Lord will always walk with you
along life's blessed beach.
His footprints there beside your own,
always within reach.

Two sets of footprints side by side,
from dawn to setting sun.
Yet there may come a day,
my child, When you'll see only one.

But do not think the Lord has left you--
Nothing could be more wrong.
It's just that He has picked you up
to carry you along.
