THANK YOU FOR CALLING

I used to work as a Customer Service Representative. I was inspired one day to write this simple poem.😉

cr: Image taken from Google images.


See your customers as God.
Take the call with no delay 'coz God is calling you.
Greet them like thanking God for you're still alive today.
On the part of knowing and handling the concern
God is now testing you.
Listen if you have ears.
Feel free to be honest 'coz He loves that.
But be slow to anger
'coz you cannot do the good things He wants done.
Anger makes you bitter. And remember,
a bitter person don't last forever.
If it hurts your ego don't try to get even.
It's a good reminder
on how His only Son responded when mistreated and mocked
thousands years ago.
Make sure you do your best,
whether the concern was resolved or not,
'coz He'll take care of the rest.
If it's a good call show gratefulness
like how you do when you're happy.
If it's a bad call do the same 'coz that shows your faith.
But don't release the call!
That's like running far away from Him.
No matter how tempting,
Please don't use that "Hadouken" technique on the phone.
The Quality Analysts are like His angels.
They will tell Him all you do.
So no secret is forever hidden.
And before the call ends don't forget to ask
"Anything else I can help you with?"
'coz He's always in search of a willing heart to do His plans.
And you're closing spiel too
"Thank you for calling..."
'coz He longs to hear that from you.
Now every break time be sure to come on time.
So just like if your last day on earth comes out of the blue it won't catch you like a trap.
When you are coached be Wise by accepting corrections,
not Stupid by rejecting it.
Stop complaining if it's queuing .No Calls.No Work.No Money.
Remember the cliche No Pain. No Gain.
Work hard so you will have a lot of food.
If you waste time, you will have a lot of trouble.
But don't forget to REST 'coz even God takes rest.
It's your time now to call God's toll free customer service hotline.Open 24/7 even on Holidays. No identity verification to ask. And No queuing!
Irate customers are highly recommended and are very much welcome to call. :D

I


Photo taken from internet.

I.


I wonder how you see me for the first time.
Maybe  you hate me then learn to like me
as day passes by.Why would I even care?

You're the kind that's easy to deal with.
While you might find me so hard to handle.
Complicated.Yes,maybe I'm  complicated.

*
I wonder if I truly know myself well
or I'm still a stranger of who really I am.

***
I wake up hopeful when the sun rises up.
But I lose hope as the sun sets down.
I write when I want to express.
I dream when I want to escape.
I cry when I don't know what to do.
I listen to music if I'm feeling blue.
I dance like crazy when I'm all alone.
I eat when I'm stressed.I walk when I'm mad.
I pray to speak my heart out to God
and to remind me of who I am.
This is me.Are we the same?
Or do you still find me weird?

II

I'm a small shy girl in a big unashamed world.
I'm a very ordinary girl in this runway like crowd.
I have no special talent.Don't even have the charm.
Wasn't born with a golden spoon in  my mouth.
I knew no sports at all.I'm always the jinx.
Now call me a dork.
I'm not funny neither bubbly.
My sense of humor is sometimes weird.

**
But if you see something special in me
that means you're special to me.
And I'll do everything to take care of you.

repeat ***

I lay on the floor when I'm confuse.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
that's what I can only say when I don't know what to say.
You might get annoyed in my long silence.
You'll chase your breath 'coz I talk too fast.
Don't make me nervous 'coz it would speed up.
But I like who I am.My weaknesses & my strengths.
I may  not be like the other.
But I'm not afraid to walk away from the place
where I don't feel I belong.
La la la la la la la life is good.

Thank You for Holding On

Photo taken from the internet.



After being blind for a long time ago,
my sight is  getting clearer.Now I'm starting to see you.
You've been longing for me for a long time
but I'm acting such a fool.
You're the only One who truly understands my pains.
So grateful that you've been patient to me.

**
You know me so well that there's nothing I can hide from You.
You touch my heart so differently.
You're the air that I breathe,reason why I live.
Everything I need is You.
Thank You for holding on,my Lord.

II.
I love  how you remain so calm when I'm in commotion.
And how you save me from my troubles.
You never change even when I turned to be so complicated.
I was  dying for a long time  from feeling so all alone.
Feels like my soul is paralyzed.
But there You are,always by my side.
but I'm too worried to realize.It's You.
Only you can do all these things to me.

repeat **

III.
Merciful,Full of grace,Unchanging,Everlasting Lord.
Thank you for choosing me
and I'm sorry for the pains
I've put you through.
Let Your flesh be my bread.
and let me drink  Your cup of blood.
'coz it's only in union with You
that I become complete and find everlasting joy and peace.

Because of Him

I.

Can't sleep at night.
Can't count the times
I cried until I fall asleep.
How many times I tried to count the stars.
But I always end up just staring at the sky
while my mind is busy talking to myself.

**
So many questions,I can't get the answers.
I used to be faithful in my dreams
but I'm starting to lose hope in reality.
I keep on walking but not sure where I'm going.

***
But I know Someone up there is looking at me.
He care so deeply that He's always beside me.
But I'm too blind to see.
My mind so busy and so as my heart
that I failed to listen carefully to His voice.
He's my redeemer.He's my prince.
Because of Him I'm a better me now.

II.

I don't understand myself
if I am being selfish or selfless.
No matter how I try
seems I never feel satisfied.
I don't know why I have to.
I tried to rest my mind
from not thinking too much
but I guess there's no easy way to do that.

Fears turn to worries
and worries turn to tears.
I died many years ago
until I was redeemed.
Now I'm learning to face my fears.

repeat**  and  ***

The used to be Ms. play it safe is now learning to take the risks.
All of this is because of Him.
The very reason why I'm still standing still.
All of this is because of Him.
Because of Him...
