Poem Commentary

When was the last time you prayed???? Written for my sister, Jeleah who I love very much!

Just Talk

When was the last time
You called to ask me,
"How was your day?" or
"What are you doing tomorrow?"

How often do you tell
Me your plans and what you
Are doing and what you
Want me to do to help you?

Am I really a friend or
Am I someone you call when
You get in trouble or when
You can't get anyone on the
Phone to understand exactly
What you are going thru?

Am I a one-time fix that
You get before you go back
To doing whatever it is that
You really want to do?
Is this real love or are you
Just playing with my emotions
Like you always do?

I'm just trying to get
To the bottom of what
Is truly going on here...
One day is not enough time
For you to spend with me-
I want everyday, everysecond,
Everyhour, everyminute- I want
It all! Put your plans on hold!
Clear that busy schedule of yours
And Just Talk To Me,
Because I am here to listen.

Good poem! What a coincidence, I just wanted to call my own sister today. And you helped me to know that you have a sister to talk to about anything. Nice write!

Actually this poem has dual meaning...I am giving advice to my younger sister to not only communicate with me but also with God ;)

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
