The Call

At twenty-five I built a new road Long hours low pay but I carried the load Served their tables learned their ways But my heart was lost in endless days

Smiles were fake laughs ran dry Each shift passed like a strangers sigh I told myself this is how its done But deep inside I felt like none

Then one night the silence broke A voice I knew a trembling tone Shes in the hospital shes not okay And suddenly I lost my way

So I packed my bags left it behind What is life if love is blind Years were wasted miles apart Now I return with an open heart

I shouldve known I shouldve stayed Times too cruel it slips away Now I stand by her side Hoping I made it back in time

The home I left still smelled the same My mother weak but called my name I saw the lines across her hands Each one a story I now understand

She smiled through pain and held me close Her love the thing I needed most She said no words but I could see That love had always waited for me
