CALLED TO BE SENT

Pacing back and forth along a country road one calm and cloudy day Challenges and problems burdened with a feeling of fear seemed to come my way Fears and tears of grief I could not hide As I called on God to help me as I was hurting deep inside Suddenly, light flashes hit my passageway wall Could this be a sign to answer the clarion call? As I thought about what I’ve believed and how I’ve been rarely called For some times I have wondered if God were there at all As I lifted up my head and looked down that path like a spell I spotted someone coming – from the distance hard to tell The voices in my head echoed “Answer the call” as I could then see all the signs Of someone who’d been down that road quite a number of times He looked as old as Methuselah and his clothes dusty, his shoes not far-fetched but pre y worn But there seemed a glow about him – at least I could have sworn His face echoed friendliness as he peered up in the sky He said to me, the weather is pre y calm today,  hope the rain will pass us by Talking about the weather, I envisaged there seemed to be much more That we both had in common, except for what we wore We had so much in common – I couldn’t believe  how much alike, That I decided to tag along, we continued on  our hike He said he’s from all over and his name was just like mine, And hoped one day that we would meet as he had a real short me.  Just as I stared at his strides to take a one more cursory glance, we went on with our walk but he had held my interest, so I listened as he talked. He said, I know you’re hurting – as your life has been so hard But it seems today that you found God, where once you’d disregard. He continued, “God knows about your worries but better times will be ahead”, You are called to be sent and only if you believe and will no longer be misled. We then turned onto a sidewalk and now very close to home, and it was then it struck me that I was suddenly now alone. I woke from my slumber and it was just a dream as reality beckoned on me, my face lit a shimmer of happiness with a beam.
