Just A Phone Call Away

December 6, 2008

One time I asked god,
Why am I here?
What am I to do?
I said god just give me a sign,
Give me a hint, give me a clue ,
And then my phone rung,
And at that moment I knew,
And it became true,
How I finally understood,
What no one ever could,
So I stopped crying,
I swear to God I'm not lying,
That voice filled my heart,
With pure, profound love, clarity, and happiness,
I smiled and I said thank you,
Because God have given me a clue,
He told me what to do,
He's being guiding me through,
He's been here all along,
My God taught me right from wrong,
I love God he has made me strong!


The author's comments:
This piece was inspired by a phone call I recieved when I was feeling down and at that moment before my phone rung I was praying to god for clarity and happiness. I needed answers and God had responded to my question with that phone call. When I heard that voice in the phone it hit me that god was really answering my question and I stopped crying and listened to that voice and looked up and said thank you god and I smiled.
