That Call Poem by Lemuel Giviens

I was lying awake in my bed,
when I got that call,

I almost dropped the phone
and fell to the floor, When I
received that call.

The calmness of the voice
on the other end, Broke the
bad news,

I swallowed and took it in and
cried what I'm I to do.

That call hurt me dearly and
changed my life in seconds,

I felt a emptiness and shock
of my love one that passed,

I must learn to accept that
life doesn't end, I know this
in my heart,

It's another chapter the soul
need to begin, It just moves
on to another journey,

When It answer it's roll call.
