Calling...

Ring, ring!
Ring, ring!
I’m not in!
Not home!
Not answering!

Full
of myself,
stong,
independent,
I’m out,
not available.
Just hang up
why don’t you!

Ring, ring!
Ring, ring!
O my God!
Help!
Are you there?
I can hardly hear you!
Come
quickly!
I need you
urgently!

Peace,
my child!
You’re not forgotten,
though I waited
long
for this call!
Come,
my child!
I’m here!
Stay close!
