Someone Is Ringing
I awoke to the sound of a telephone ringing
I reached for the phone,
but it was nowhere near me.
I will call you back later,
I heard myself saying,
then a soft voice whispered,
"I heard you praying"
I ran for the telephone,
but I was too late,
so I checked my missed calls,
and saw Jesus name.
I immediately pressed voice mail
I needed to hear more.
"My child I heard you praying
for all the world sores"
Please pray again, my father is not in
he is preparing for the end
of all worldly sins"
I pressed redial, my mind a blank
What if he answers???
What would I say???
" Father forgive me, for I have sinned
I ask no mercy for I am of man"
I felt a hand upon my head
a soft voice whispered
" I know my child"
and the line went dead.
Moments later,
I arose from my bed!!
