Telephone

When I was a child I waited for Your call How could You do this to me We stood by the phone but You were busy How could I have thought You heard The youngness wasn't enough You were too disconnected to answer Unaware we dialed You again and again The others waited too and starved I believed in Your love The Omnipotence fragmented For you Brother The signal was one ring and I should ring back But the Power said disconnected I tried You again but the voice said no The number you have reached is not in service So I checked the number and again it said clear Those tears turned into a river and we saw You sail by You were needed at the church and the glory Two children stayed and together was no matter Dancing we made new games and prayer Oh Dio Am older now and the prayer My brother is gone cause he took a cab Their was no fare He doesn't wait now but I still I hear him in the night I see him in strangers and glances Begging You I wait as before The toys help with those moments and dialing Your phone rings off the hook God help us all
