Grandma’s Chair

Posted by MyEsha "QuirkyLetters" R on

On Grandma’s porch, there’s an iron chair
I close my eyes, and she’s sitting there
Head slightly bent, in silent prayer…
 
When I open them up she’s really there, 
Rocking in this front porch chair…

The truth is…

I have no clue how long she’s been there, 
In this iron sitting chair 
Whispering her fervent plea,
For the angels to guard over me

I’ve always known, 
Somewhere-
Someone-
Prayed for me,
With a sense of urgency,
With old time faith and true belief
Never to quit, never to cease….

Each time I visit 
I spy this chair,
Nonchalantly sitting there
On the porch without a care,
As if it wasn’t filled with prayers

 And now and then she’ll stop and sit
 And I’ll watch Grandama pray in it,
I always wonder what she says 
When she sits out there and prays,

And once everyone has gone inside
It’s now my turn,

To give it a try…

I take my seat in Grandma’s chair 
And thank the Lord that she’s still here.

Hi. I'm MyEsha aka Faith Raine. I am a military veteran, business owner, and an up and coming Christian writer. I love God, coffee, writing, my family and friends (not necessarily in that order, family and friends are important, but so is coffee!). My faith based writings, or this is how I see life pieces, otherwise known as Christian Blogs are an outreach for today's generation. The works represented here mean a lot to me, and hopefully they will mean something to you too. Embarking on a new business, literary journey, and stepping out on faith, I am meshing two worlds together and seeing what beautiful written creations God makes from it. Being led by the Holy Spirit, Faith is a newbie but determined to do things as God leads.
