When Laughter Rings

I am always surprised when
the phone rings at night
and a strange, though familiar,
voice I hear.

He says he has missed me
and then makes me laugh.
Tells me "not funny at all".
He is being sincere.

We catch up a bit
as he fills me in
on his travels and actions
and everything dear.

It's almost as though
an angel has touched him,
and knows I could use
a bit of his cheer.

He never forgets me,
"easy-going" he says,
which  makes me laugh harder,
though his words meant are clear.

I say, " tell that to others,
I'm sure they'd laugh, too.
For I am only that way,
when I am with you."
*thanks
M

It is "funny" Dixie, that when I am sometimes at my lowest...the phone will ring, and I can't help but feel encouraged.

Don't forget, the next time you are in D.C..let me know. Though I am in PA, I am not even 2 hrs away and besides I spend alot of time at family in MD...and that is even closer. *s

Maureen

Some people just have a knack for knowing when a call is most needed...maybe they have some angel in them?  Enjoyed!

Maureen, sweet lady, I'm so glad that
you have someone to make you feel this
way. We all need someone to lift our
spirits when we are down.
Hugs to you,  
Ethel
