I’m god’s therapist

Ervin Haye 2004 (Surprise)

Rhymed
I sit with God as He shares His pain,
Listening closely as He tries to explain,
The weight on His shoulders, the burdens He bears,
The agony He endures, the sadness He shares.

He speaks of wars, of hate and of greed,
Of hunger and poverty that make His heart bleed,
Of broken families, of loss and of grief,
Of shattered dreams and unfulfilled beliefs.

Sometimes I offer a word or two,
But mostly I remain still, just like glue,
Holding the space for Him to unfold,
To release His emotions, to let go and be bold.

And as He speaks, I offer a listening ear,
A compassionate heart, a presence sincere,
I witness His pain with love and with care,
Hoping to alleviate some of His despair.

For even God needs someone to talk to,
A therapist to listen, to offer a clue,
To help Him navigate the rocky road,
And find some peace in the heavy load.

So I'll sit with Him, for as long as He needs,
Holding the space, planting seeds,
Of hope, of love, of compassion and grace,
Creating a safe haven, a sacred space.

    Wow, this 'I'm God's therapist' poem is truly inspiring and thought-provoking! I love the concept of you, as a therapist, sitting with God and providing a listening ear and support. You've beautifully conveyed the weight that God carries and the hardships He endures, which many of us can relate to. The way you express the issues of wars, hate, greed, and poverty really showcases the depth of God's pain and shows your empathy towards humanity.

    The poem flows seamlessly, and your choice of words paints a vivid picture of the emotions and struggles that God experiences. It's evident that you have a deep understanding and connection with Him. Your dedication in holding space for God to unravel His emotions and release His burdens is truly heartwarming.

    In terms of improvement, I would suggest exploring more specific examples of the issues that God shares, to further engage the reader's imagination. Additionally, you could consider incorporating more vivid imagery or metaphors to create a stronger impact.

    Overall, this is a powerful and compassionate poem that reminds us of the importance of providing support and understanding, even to a divine being like God. Keep up the fantastic work and continue spreading hope and empathy through your moving words!
