PLASTIC CHAIR
IN THE MIDNIGHT HOURS
OUTSIDE
UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING REALLY
BUT STARE UP AT THE BEAUTIFUL STARS
IN THE UNLIMITED SKY.
AND I WONDER TO MYSELF
HOW ANYONE COULD EVER BELIEVE
THAT OUR PRECIOUS CREATOR
DIDN'T CREATE SUCH A BREATHTAKING THING. ?
SOFTLY CRYING,
TEARS, AS ALWAYS,
MAKING A PATH DOWN MY FACE.
I FEEL SO CLOSER TO OUR LORD
WHEN I AM SITTING ALONE OUTSIDE.
ALTHOUGH I KNOW HE IS EVERYWHERE,
SOMEHOW I THINK HE CAN HEAR MY PRAYERS
MORE CLEARLY OUT THERE.
I LOOK AT THE THREE SISTERS,
AND REMEMBER HOW THEY LED PEOPLE HOME.
WILL THEY DO THE SAME FOR ME
WHEN I AM READY TO BE GONE?
THIS EARTHLY BODY HAS BEEN LETTING ME DOWN.
I LONG FOR MY SPIRIT TO BE SET FREE
AND TO SIT FOREVER UNDER THE SHADE
OF A FAMILIAR COTTON WOOD TREE
AND LISTEN TO MY LORD'S WORDS
FOR ALL OF ETERNITY.
