When you hear the phone ring
Do you care for what it, might bring?
Her only son, so far from home, to speak
Some loving mother may longingly seek-
One anxious paternal ear, straining to hear
The bubbling laughter of a much-loved daughter.
A long-awaited greeting to bring his way,
A bosom friend from miles away!
Some dear woman may patiently wait
To be able to hear, her beloved Soul-Mate;

One darling child his Daddy may want,
When you say “Can’t”
Do you see him shed an unseen tear,
His sobs of misery do you hear?
When you feel like “not being nice”
Does your Corporation pay the Price?
The many chores of a Corporate House hold,
Many a life-lesson untold!
Hence, all calling voices, treat with care
Be simple and sweet, Just and Fair.

If to conquer Yourself, you seek
Every time you speak-
Surely before the day is done
You’ll find half of Life’s Battle you’ve won!
On the Corporate Stage, play well your part:
So, the next time, the telephone rings,
Be ready to serve with all your heart,
For you know not what it brings!!!
