The Cushion and the Chair-A Letter To God

The Cushion and the Chair-A letter to God By Laura Bonneville Delacroix What is it God that you see in me What is it God that you want me to be Why is it God that you believe in me Sometimes the heartache is so great I just want to feel free The anguish and sorrow that consume my soul I keep praying to you to fix it all I wear my heart upon my sleeve The hurt so abundant I look to you to magically relieve Why do those I love hurt so bad this is what makes me feel so sad So I look up to you and I yell I AM MAD Mad at you for not fixing it all Mad at myself that I cannot be brave and stand tall I look up to you and ask "what is it you wanted" while those around me continue to be haunted Foolishly I blamed it all on you Knowing with your great power you could fix it all too Please Lord tell me Tell me what to do I am putting all my faith in you You are the Father,the Son, the Holy Ghost You are the one I look to the most I look to you to heal my heart I thought if you didnt I would fall apart I searched real hard to find myself and there I sat high upon a shelf I hide up here so no one can see I hide inside myself waiting for God to fix me And then it comes It was always there I look down and I see a chair A chair so strong,so mighty and tall A chair so strong to be used by all "Just remember" God says "even I need help so reach out your foot and take that first step Reach down my child Reach really in depth Not you or I can make everything better sometimes we can just offer them a simple warm sweater A temporary fix to those who might be cold Now it is time for them to be bold "You see my child I am your chair to help maybe others to reach you up there So my child just understand sometimes we all need a helping hand You are just one person you cant take away their pain Just be the cushion upon the chair Let them know you and I will always be there To give them love and comfort to ease their pain Let those around us that hurt know we will always remain I am the Cushion and God is the Chair To help our loved ones from their despair....
