Just A Telephone Call

Distance no obstacle

Just a telephone call during the mundane,
A precious and familiar voice answers hello,
One that can be relied upon,
When there’s news that needs to be told.

So many times there’s been a sob in my voice,
Tears falling upon my face,
And yet you listen,
You encourage,
Without judgement.

A familiar voice in the distance.

For once the news was great,
Bursting to be imparted,
And I could hear your smile as you listened.

Just a telephone call in the silence,
A connection spanning the miles,
A smile, a whisper of advice,
Never too much, nor too little,
A perfect Goldilocks outcome of love.

A special gift of a hand held,
Distance no obstacle,
Selflessly available,
To laugh, to cry, to silence,
Exactly as I may ever need.

Thank you for reading.
