 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Me And Me Mate Upstairs!


I have to tell it true and say;
I have Him up the wall!
And every time I have a problem,
I always give my God a call!
I raise my eyes to the ceiling,
And shout; ‘God, are ya there tonight?'
And no matter what the time is;
He will always make things right!

For He always answers my call,
Well, I guess He tries his best,
And after all, when said and done,
I always put Him to the test!
But recently things have got worse,
And gone, oh, so very wrong,
And I said to Him; I did,
‘God, I'm not feeling very strong!'

‘That's ok, kid!'  He said this night,
‘It's allowed you know, to feel sad!
And it's also ok to say;
That sometimes you think I'm bad!'
So I said to Him, I did;
‘Lord, what about when I question you?
And shout and rant and rave!
And blame you the way I do!'

‘Nope, I don't get mad at all,
You're allowed to question why!
But be sure of this, for this is so;
You won't get the answers until you die!'
But God I said, ‘don't you mind
Don't I do your head in at all?'
‘Listen kid!'  He replied to me,
‘When you want me, just give me a call!'

So I lay in bed and thought about it,
About all the chats I have with my mate,
And though I must have Him up the wall;
I still think this fella's great!
So as I settled down to sleep this night,
I whispered once again;
‘Thank you very much my God,
For letting me drive you totally insane!'

Now I though that He had signed off,
And didn't expect a reply from Him!
He whispered right back at me;
‘Catherine, you make me grin!'
‘Well thank you very much!'  I said;
But I really thought you had gone!'
Nope, not yet,' He answered,
‘I think our chats are rather fun!'

‘And don't you worry kid!' He said,
You're not a pain at all!
And the same goes for you every day,
When you need me, give me a call!'
So I smiled myself a little smile,
After another nightly chat,
And thanked Him very much,
For putting up with me like that!
