Night Caller
In the early hours of the deepest slumber
The little boy was wakened with a whisper
Calling him to come and join their number
It was a whisper once so familiar
But the little boy was fearful to obey
And told no one of this whispering friend
Lest they chide him as when in vision
He once said he saw angels visiting
The following evening at the same hour
Came the whispering one only much urgent
We haven’t time to tarry! For you I’m sent
Rise and we shall find the lost moments.
And so the boy arose and he did gladly go
With the night caller all was relived again
There was time with never a moment parting
He knew deeply all the passing scenes
The morning sun awoke him after many years
Was it a life upon lives lived so brief
Whatever it was the whispering one said
Eternity he was certain was but a continuation.
