Footprints By Gio Masserati Poem by Gio Masserati

'Footprints', also known as 'Footprints in the Sand', is a popular allegorical text written in prose. This popular text describes an experience in which a person is walking on a beach with God. They leave two sets of footprints in the sand behind them. Looking back, the tracks represent various stages of the speaker's life. At various points, the two trails dwindle to one, especially at the lowest and most hopeless moments of the person's life. When questioning God, believing that the Lord must have abandoned his love during those times, God gives the explanation: 'During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.'
