The Little Red Chair |
by Sharon J Bryant The chair you are looking at Was very special to me Wonderful things happened That only my daughter could "see". It was in this chair she saw And talked to the "little boy" The one who told her things About the room and the toys. This isn't a magic chair But one that he once loved And yet he came back From his home in heaven above. To tell his sister things That she could never know This chair proved to me That heaven is really so. I'll always remember the things I heard her say to him How she'd hold up something And then say "ok" with a grin. So many things can happen That we don't understand But I know my daughter saw my son In this chair in another land. This photo was taken at Christmas On the last year Andy was with me I've learned there truly is a Heaven This chair has proven that to me. It's been my "sign" that helped me Get through the rough days that I've had I look at this photo often It no longer makes me sad. |
This photograph is of the Litte Red Chair that my son Andy had visited and sat in while he spoke to my daughter. Amy had many conversations with him in his room. I had left everything the same in his room. His toys were still in his toybox, his clothes still in the dressers and closets. . . and the chair sat in the corner where he used to sit and read his books. It's the same chair he stood on and watched three little birds hatch in a nest. My parents had given him the chair the last Christmas he was on earth with us. It has always been my proof that there is something else other than this life we know on earth. There is no way Amy could have told me the things she did, not knowing Andy. Andy visited her many times in the room, always sitting in the little red chair. I have tried to find every explanation I could for what happened concerning this chair and after all the years that have passed, I still cannot come up with one... other than my daughter had visits from a brother she never knew. A brother that came to her, talked to her and told her things she could not have known. |
