So this week on Open Book Blog Hop we’re chatting about our favorite poems. So confession, I don’t really read poetry. Not much anyway. So, I thought about this one and then it came to me. The poem I’ve always loved, thought of and read over and over when times are hard. Footprints in the Sand by Mary Stevenson.
I love this poem but I guess, I’d never thought of it as a poem until this week. Let me know what you think.
Do you have a favorite poem? Please feel free to share it below, then let’s hop over and see what my fellow authors have to say on this subject.
There’s a lot of writing that can be considered poetry that doesn’t follow traditional forms. This being one of them.
I agree with you there.
Yes I’ve always liked this one too. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome:
This has been one of my favorites too
Comforting to think God has our backs, isn’t it?
I first saw Footprints the day after my mother’s death in 1979, at that time, in a Dear Abby column that I pasted into my Bible. Since my Dad’s untimely passing 15 months before, this sustained me more than I knew at the time
Things like this come to us when we least expect them and yet need them to comfort us. I like thinking that God is sending us little messages when we need them. Thank you for sharing your story.
