The phone call had come again
greeted by so much laughing and blaming
but my assistant manager told them not to blame and said I did nto have to answer to those names
the ugly words and actions of someone sick
and Ruthie saw me back by the garbage disposal and said I am sorry
my sister for taking their side
for blaming you too
I said,If we as women do not back eachother, who will?
There is no excuse for anyone to abuse
she gave me a hug and cried and I said: Jesus took so much more.
So when the phone rings now and it is some slimeball saying dirty sick words for me or my daughter I say nothing, just hang up
not feeding them what they want
but in fellowship forever with every hurting soul and doing what I can to help to heal, to help make whole
sometimes it takes a lance to drain a boil
the soreness of the soul
hidden deep inside
I applaud everyone who is brave enough to share
and to all who listen and choose to listen
and to care
