cool stuff there Kassandra... Well dear I looked and looked and I know what you are talking about I have seen it I can't remember the author either. I like the version Vesca found.
here is a temp image with one other version...and I will type it so when the image disappears at least the print will be here!
our Mother who art the earth,
hallowed be they heart.
they healing come,
wholeness be done,
in us, as it is beyond.
today we give our daily joy
and forgive our self as we accept you.
we kneel to thee earth Mother
to thy higher self, my other
for ours is the freedom,
and the wonder,
and the love.
now, now, now!
so mote it be
now this isn't the one I have seen before, I'll keep looking, I have it on paper in one of my many folders, I will print if I find it!
...so in my ramblings I cam across this beauty of a twist on the footprints in the sand poem...Hilarious!!!
just had to share...
Butt prints in the Sand.
one night I had a wondrous dream
one set of footprints there was seen
the footprints of the Goddess they were
but mine were not along the shore
but then some stranger prints appeared
and I asked Her, "what have we here?
these prints are large and round and neat
but much too big to be from feet"
"My child", she said in somber tones
for miles I carried you alone
I challenged you to walk in faith,
but you refused and made me wait"
"you would not learn, you would not grow,
the walk of faith, you would not know
So I got tired, and I got fed up
and there I dropped you on your butt"
"Because in life there comes a time
when one must fight, and one must climb
when one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand."
I do not know the author the image said,... Pagan and Proud of it.
