At the conclusion of the poem, the Lord explains: 'during your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you'.
The poem may be derived from Psalm 77.19: "Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known" (King James Version).

In Buddhism, the footprints of the Buddha initially appeared only in reliefs depicting the Buddha's life, but later stones bearing impressions of the Buddha's footprints became objects of worship in their own right, and their cult is found in all Buddhist lands.

Footprints left by the upright-walking, prehuman species Australopithecus afarensis were found in 1977 in Tanzania, imprinted in volcanic mud 3.6 million years old -- making them 10 times older than the new discovery.
The footprints' makers were short -- just under 5 feet tall -- based on the prints' size of less than 8 inches in length, the researchers said.
A short time later, the volcano erupted again, blanketing the footprints with a thick layer of ash that preserved them for the ages, said Paolo Mietto of the University of Padua, Italy.

 Alleged 40,000-year-old human footprints in Mexico much, much older than thought
Berkeley -- Alleged footprints of early Americans found in volcanic rock in Mexico are either extremely old - more than 1 million years older than other evidence of human presence in the Western Hemisphere - or not footprints at all, according to a new analysis published this week in Nature.
Earlier this year, researchers in England touted these "footprints" as definitive proof that humans were in the Americas much earlier than 11,000 years ago, which is the accepted date for the arrival of humans across a northern land-bridge from Asia.
Today, trucks headed toward the quarry routinely drive across the xalnene tuff in which the alleged footprints are found, and the rock itself is pockmarked with many depressions in addition to the alleged footprints.
