Prepared With No Regrets

I heard the phone ringing loud,
It was him on the other line,
He seemed to want to talk,
For hours unlike any other time.
He got me to thinking as he spoke,
About words I said the other day,
About people not accepting messages,
When it’s their time to go away.

The more we talked the more I thought,
My heart was breaking into,
He said listen Honey to what I say,
I will leave this world long before you.
I don’t want to hear that,
I’d die if you were gone,
 You know how much I love you,
For you to go, would be all wrong.

I told him, how I had talked to God,
I asked Him to take me before them,
For my life could not go on,
I couldn’t live, I couldn’t pretend.
You are much too young,
You’ve got so much living to do,
Please don’t even think of this,
If you go my life would be through.

We talked into the late night hours,
I wiped tears between the words he’d say,
I had to make him understand, I loved him,
Before I let him go away.
I tossed and turned all through the night,
Thinking of that call & what he had to say,
How he was prepared with no Regrets,
When the Father calls him home to stay.
