More than a little sad. I’d like to make a call.
A call I have made before when things weren’t going well.
You were always there, with advice I wouldn’t take
But the sound of your voice and the peace in your heart would ease whatever ache.
More than a little afraid. I’d like to make a call.
A call to hear your laughter that always brought a smile.
You were always there, to lift my spirits high
Even when my foolishness had made me want to cry.
More than a little lost. I’d like to make a call.
A call for some direction that always led me well.
You were always there when I’d lost my way
To bring me back home into the light of day.
More than a little lonely. I’d like to make a call.
A call just to chat with you for a little while.
I want to say I love you and perhaps with a sigh
let you know I will miss you until we meet on high.
More than a little proud. I’d like to make a call.
A call to pat your back and ring that final bell.
School is out and it’s time to go
From here on that journey home.
More than a little I love you and now I can’t make that call
But I know your soul is well
I miss you.
To My Mother Dorothy Guidry
