In Moments Like These

I need Assaurance from my Maker A hug from a friend A smile from a stranger A hello from a colloguea A kiss from my husband And a thank you from my child. Oh how I miss my child: The sweet memories of a love that can never be The heartache that will never pass The miracle we except to let go. I need A prayer from my e-mail buddy A “I love you mom” from my child A miracle from up above A word of advice from my mother A helping hand from a stranger And a silent acknowledgement of my father. Oh how I miss my father: The loving vioce and smile that use to touch my heart The joy he brought with his appearances and the tears with his departure The vivid memories of a longing so deep and a missing so painful it hurts. I need A buddle of flowers A teaspoon of happiness A pot of love A oceaan of courage And a miracle to understand
