Mobile Phones
They are small, black and light
Some ofcourse are bigger and heavier than others
And some might even be different colours but
They all have one purpose in common
They are for you to talk to your friends or families or even business associates
They are very handy little gadgets, very popular and convenient
Especially now when they are so cheap to buy and run, some are even free
I look around and all I see is people talking on their mobile phone
From little children to old granddads, all have their own personal little black gadget
They spend so much time on those things
In the morning or at night, in the streets or in their homes
At work or in school, they are constantly chatting to someone on the other end of the line
They have so much to talk about, it can go on for hours and hours
Never stop, never ends, just talk talk talk
So much time people spend talking on their little black gadget
Why do people talk non-stop?
Is it because they miss the person on the other side of the line?
Or is it just for chitchat, or alittle gossip here and there?
I too have a mobile phone, I too have many numbers stored in the memory
However my mobile is different from all the other mobiles
Why? My mobile is reserved for one special special person
Throughout the entire world you can never find someone like him
He knows you, he knows me, and he knows all your friends and families
There is no one he doesn't know
No one ever calls him, everybody calls their friends and family but not this special person
They always have time to chat to their friends and family, but can't spare afew moments to chat to my special friend, why?
They all say we are too busy with school, with work or other chores, I just don't have time for it now, wait just wait til I'm finish what I'm doing then I'll call your special friend
So I trusted in their words, I waited and waited
They finished chores after chores
But never seem to remember what they had promised me
I became alittle impatient and abit angry
I wanted to tell them off for what they were doing
Then my special friend said to me, "Don't be angry with them,
for they have not yet realised that I am waiting for them to call"
Then I said, "What do you mean they don't realise, they are your children, they are the ones you have chosen, they know your words and your laws, yet they do not realise?"
"Yes they are my children, they know my words and my laws, but they are human, they have the freedom of choice, they call who they wish to call. They know I am here if they ever need me and are always willing to provide for their needs." Said my special friend
I started to feel a sharp pain growing from the bottom of my heart, people only call you when they are in need, and they only call you when they require something from you
Why don't they call in time of peace and joy?
Why don't they call you when they are plentiful and not in need?
"They are human, be patient, one day they'll know that I am waiting for them to call"
said my special friend
Then I finally said, "You are my greatest friend, you are the most forgiving and understanding friend I'll ever have, I promise I'll call you every day and night, I will never let a day go by without talking to you, I'll never let you go lonely again."
But deep down in my heart, I know I'll struggle with my promise, but I will try my very best to fulfil my promise, with help from my special friend there is nothing impossible.
Who do you call in your free time?
