~ Only Me ~ And you hear the telephone ring, and you don't know who it is It shakes your heart and it starts beating faster Your mind is racing and your emotions you're trying to master But you know you have to answer or you will not know What is happening on the other end, and you must know So reluctantly, you pick up the telephone and with a quick heart beat You say hello, and hope with all your might that it's not going to hurt a bit And sometimes to your surprise, it's a voice that you can trust It's a friend, and your happy and you know that you must Hang on to whatever you have and be there for both of you Because, it's all there is at that precious moment in time, it's your cue To listen and talk and remember all that can be shared After all, we've been through a lot and that we cared So I am happy to hear your sound It fills my time and my life it surrounds For those precious moments, though short it may be We can always be there for each other, you shall see Whether in thought or in sight, it doesn't matter Because all there is, we seem to get to laughter It's a good thing, that we can see beyond what others can't see So forever, we shall always be friends, never doubt me Thank you for your call, it made me cry to know that you're not hurting But through it all, it's not our final curtain We've seen it all but the show is far from over We haven't seen the final act, so don't roll over "Rover" Hang on to your you know what, it's not our curtain call We have to be there for not only us, but for those who call. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ |
