One night I prayed
“God, can I have a hug when I get there?”
Daring to believe that
The Lord of Heaven
Might bend to hold me in His arms.
Then my parents hugged me goodnight
I cuddled my sister when she was sad
I looked and saw the shining eyes
Of my friends as they wrapped
Their arms around me.
And God said, “You can have one right now.”
