'I Need That Special Number To Call' Poem by Linda Winchell

I've been thumbing through the, 'Yellow Pages'
For that special number, that I really now need to call.
I haven't found that number yet
But when I do, I will surly make the call.

I need some light and hope from this darkness in
And someone said, that all I needed to do is call.
So I'll keep turning these pages until I find it
Hoping it's not long distance, and not too costly of it all.

It seems my burdens have gotten much heavier lately
Which I now cannot seem alone to bear.
I hope that when I find that right number
That whomever it is that answers
Will show me that they understand and really care.

To speak the kind words of encouragement needed
That will hopefully help get me through one more day.
I think I've found the number needed now?
It is written, ' Call On God To Pray! '

The advertisement reads, 'If your down and out
and looking for someone who really cares.
Just dial the letters, 'Between God And You'
He will surly answer any request you care.'

'You won't be placed on hold ever!
Or have a lot of personal questions that you need to dial in.
And the person on the other end of the line
Will give you God's, ' Holy prescription'
For the forgiveness of any of your sins.'

Dialing! .
