Who hugs you??? (a poem)

Who hugs you???

I am sitting here thinking

about all those that I know

with worries.

With my few friends,

 even my small world,

 there are such sorrows

 it seems to never end...

There is such pain,

so many feel they haven't got a friend,

but please remember now,

I am here thinking of you

and shedding these tears

Yes, I know I am just a man,

but I will do all I can

 because I love you... too

But after the rain,

we shall all see the rainbow,

the promise of the Father

sent to us here to know,

he loves us,

yes he loves us... soooooo

More then we will ever know...

I am in turmoil

worried about each of you,

each day

not knowing what to do

to help you...

find your way...

Now I realize,

just a little bit,

of what he goes through

each moment,

what it must be like

 for our dear Father...

He knows us each,

 all our dreams

all our needs

and all of our weakness'

And still he loves

 he loves each and every one

and always listens

to our prayers...

What must it be like

to care that much

and see so much more

 then we can,

an know that the way out

for each of us

 is plain to him,

yet we get lost

 and we sin...

            We need him....

But still after all,

even when we have done

what we should.

Is that enough,

after all the prayers,

and all the hymns,

the caring

and the services rendered to a friend,

it makes me wonder

 who cares for him....

perfect though he is,

it is plain to see

 he cares...

my dear friends,

in the end

 the one who cares,

can be hurt,

and feel lonely too,

just as the Savior felt lonely

 in that Garden

on the Cross...

after all the worship

Dear Heavenly Father

Who hugs you???

Dear,

Gracious

Loving

Heavenly Father

Will I do???
