The Window

The Window


Set above the kitchen sink

A window, where she 

Could pray and think. 

As her visits came 

More frequent and sure,

The window began to 

Show her more

Than the quiet yard

Where birds bathed 

And the sky 

With its glorious spray. 

Scenes, people, 

Places never known,

And disaster that 

Left them lost and alone. 

“Why do I see this

so terrible a sight?”

A voice in her ear said,

“Pray for the right.

I need you to stand 

In the gap tonight.”

She cried and prayed

Til the scenes went away. 

Thus she came to this spot

Day after day. 

Visions and dreams 

Of plights displayed

Were calls from her God

To come to the fray.
