Across The Miles......

My heart was pounding, my face, all smiles
He called me from across the miles.
I talked to him and he talked to me
It was just as it was meant to be.

Tentative words, coming slowly at first
His words, so tender, assuaged my thirst.
His spoken words, I’ve read them before…
Now hearing them means so much more.

His voice so sweet, gentle and kind…..
Now lives forever in my mind.
As I read and savor every word….
It is not just written, it is also heard.

Not just words spoken, but thoughts expressed,
Putting forever, any doubts to rest….
Each word has meaning; each word beguiles
He called me from across the miles.
