White wooden chair

There is a white wooden chair in front of the window 

It is the only white thing in the room

I found that chair in the basement of a church years ago

The owner gave it to me when it was rickety and weak

I saw something more

As a person who loves the form of good posture

I enjoyed the tall straight back and clean lines

My husband took that old chair and restored it for me

He renforced the edges and firmed up the foundation

I love the thought of our Heavenly Father, looking at us with the eyes of a maker

Our creator

To redeem and restore

Softening our edges and giving us a firm foundation

Making us the only white thing in the room
