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 knee problems, hitting slumps or just not seeing the ball well, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to Manny, "You promised me Manny, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?" Manny replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you, Papi." David Ortiz has been writing poetry as well:

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with Manny.

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

knee problems, hitting slumps or just not seeing the ball well,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to Manny,

“You promised me Manny,

that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during

the most trying periods of my life

there have only been one

set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most,

you have not been there for me?”

Manny replied,

“The times when you have

seen only one set of footprints in the sand,

is when I carried you, Papi.”
