please help! looking for a specific poem---

i wrote it down somewhere (didn't have my notebook with me when i found it) and now of course i can't find the paper!!

it is a poem by an anonymous writer that talks about how some footprints (i think it was footprints) make an impression on you but others don't or something like that?

does anyone know what i'm talking about? sorry for being so vague but my memory s ucks these days!! THANKS

Is this it?

One night I dreamed I was walking
Along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that
During the low periods of my life when I was

Suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,

So I said to the Lord, 'You promised me,
Lord, that if I followed You,
You would walk with me always.

But I noticed that during the most trying periods
Of my life there have only been
One set of prints in the sand.

Why, When I have needed You most,
You have not been there for me?'

The Lord replied,
'The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you.'

thanks for your help - but no that's not it.

it was much shorter- maybe 4-6 lines - and it is an anonymous author.
