Today was dull, tonite I'm dreary <br /> My body tired, my spirit weary. <br /> The phone rings and lo and behold <br /> It's a dear friend from long, long ago. <br /> A miracle, the stars began to shine <br /> My spirits lifted, the world was mine, <br /> Her voice was soft, so nice and clear, <br /> She always was my friend so dear. <br /> Sometimes just a happy "Hello," <br /> Can raise spirits that were so low, <br /> I felt again, life was really good, <br /> I started counting my blessings as we all should. <br /> A friend is a very special gift <br /> Always there our spirits to lift, <br /> We too should be a friend to all, <br /> Just try a three-minute telephone call.<br /><br />Mary Flowers Parks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-phone-call/
