Guest guest Report post Posted November 16, 2007 JUST CALL UPON HIM-- Author Unknown The boy walked along the ocean shore . . . trying not to stray. He looked up to his father saying, " Dad, I want to play. " His father looked upon him, with love showing in his eyes. " Do what you want to, my son . . . but do not leave my side. " " I would never leave you Daddy, I love you way too much. " But the boy took a step away, out of his father's range of touch. He walked through the surf, the waves tickling one toe. " If I take one more step in . . . " he thought, " Father will never know. " His father called out to him, " Son, to me remain true! " The boy thought with glee . . . " At the moment I don't need you! " His father felt a sadness, but he held his tongue. Sometimes lessons need to be learned . . . even when so young. The boy stepped out a little further . . . the water covering his waist. His father spoke with urgency . . . his father spoke with haste. " My son, come back to me, " he said, " The day is almost done! " " Not yet, Dad, " the boy yelled, " I'm having too much fun! " But the boy did not have his father's insight so he could not yet tell, The tide was coming in fast . . . there would be no time to yell. " Father! " he tried to scream, as the water covered his head. " I need you now, Daddy! " was what the boy had said. And in a single instant his father was by his side. " I thought you left me, Daddy . . . I thought you went to hide. " The father looked upon his son . . . a tear streaming down his cheek. The boy looked upon his father . . . and cried the sobs of the meek. " I would never leave you son . . . for I love you just the same. " " I was only waiting . . . for you to call upon my name. " __._,_.__ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
