“The Call,” New Era, Feb. 1972, 51

The Call

by Darrell John Wyatt

Yesterday

it came—

a large, white envelope,

In it a letter

signed by the hand of a prophet.

I could have run to the highest mountain

and shouted my happiness to the world,

But volumes could not express enough joy.

Today:

Testimony meeting,

And I can only say,

I thank you, Lord.

I hear the call.

I come.
