The Call
we are
a call away
all of us
a call away
the phone rings
for some
before daylight
for others
nightlight
and nobody
wants to take that call
hear those words
you’re never ready
to hear those words
no matter how many times
you’ve taken that call
there’s still a question
haven’t asked
still a story
haven’t heard
still a laugh
haven’t laughed
still a moment
haven’t had
still that much
haven’t done
said
