Calling All Angels

This lonely drive to work, I barely felt alive I felt a little quirk, on this mundane drive I pulled over to make a call, next to a park My secretary called, then my screen went dark I proceeded with my call, re dialed and then I waited The engine seemed to stall, then my dash lights faded The call went to a recording, it said "Leave me some love" I said "Have a great morning, your my turtle dove" Turning the key did nothing, so I slammed the wheel Just then the phone rang, a telemarketer named Will I called my mechanic, Dan said "Call for a tow" I dialed information, only to be put on hold My phone battery died, so I let out a low groan Bedeviled again, I slowly walked on home

I hope you were able to keep your love's sweet words in mind as you waited for the tow, Mitch. Waiting for the tow probably disrupted your day, but maybe it gave you some time to think of her as well. A thought-provoking poem -- sometimes things like this happen for a reason. You probably needed time to refocus on your priorities. Love, Carolyn
