I try to telephone Heaven,
Where so many of my loved ones are.
The operator can't get through;
The wires do not reach that far.

Perhaps I will have better luck
With this gadget I now own.
For there are no long wires needed
With my marvelous cell phone.

You say the circuits are busy?
I'll wait for a while, that's fine.
I'll stay right here 'til you get through,
And will keep an open line.

Maybe God Himself will answer,
And that would be better yet.
Operator, please keep calling.
I'll speak to anyone I get.

Just keep praying Joyce! That's the most direct line of all.

Thank God, His line is never busy and He's always available by knee-mail, too.

Love your poem(s).

Joyce,

This poem is so simply delightful.

You just lifted my spirits immeasurably.

Humor is the best medicine of all.

Thank you and call me sometime.......

I like this very much! It reminds me of a song I heard. I think it's called, Jesus On The Main Line. It says something about, Jesus on the main line tell him what you want.
Once again you bless us with a great poem.
You get better all the time.
God Bless you this Easter and always,
Deb

Charmingly written with compassion and wit.
What a wonderful gift.
