Phone Call From A Friend

Phone Call From A Friend
By Larry Linville

A good friend called me up today.
We didn’t have too much to say.
Our business issues soon were done
but our talking had just begun.

We’d had long talks in our past
which always gave us both a blast.
Some things were from deep inside
where our greatest thoughts reside.

Today we picked up from where we stopped
right at the point where we had dropped.
Talked about family and how work was going
and how each others spirit was growing.

We laughed at so many funny things
and how we fell when we tried our wings.
We explored the things which we were reading
and where God seemed to be leading.

Although he lives many miles away
we seemed to both play and pray
although neither wanted to hang up the phone
again our relationship had grown.

Soon I’ll see this friend face to face
and we’ll pick up our talk at the same place
where it was when we say goodbye
as a new conversation God will supply
