"Footsteps in the Sand" as a Limerick

Source:  Floating around the Internet

Keywords:  Grace, God, Forgiveness, Love, Footsteps


Just found this floating around the internet.  Taking famous poems and rewriting them as limericks.  As an appetizer, here is "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe reimagined as a limerick.  

The Raven

There once was a girl named Lenore
And a bird and a bust and a door
And a guy with depression
And a whole lot of questions
And the bird always says "Nevermore."

Now for the main event, "Footprints in the Sand." 

 

Footprints in the Sand

There was a man who, at low tide
Would walk with the Lord by his side
Jesus said "Now look back;
You'll see one set of tracks.
That's when you got a piggy-back ride."
