Hug From You Again

Hug From You Again

Mom—you’re in that special place
where you’re free from all that pain.
Oh, what I would gladly give
for just one more hug again.

Daily I sit in sorrow
that you were taken away.
The hardest day of my life
was when you left us that day.

On a notepad, words you wrote,
Dad found just the other day.
It brings tears to my sad eyes.
I’ll paraphrase what you say:

“I start chemo tomorrow
and not sure what to expect,
but I just want my life back
and to be back at my best.

My family, they need me,
and I, I of course need them.”
Oh, it hurts so much right now,
but we’ll all see you again.

The Angels, they prepared you,
you always called them your friends.
Now you’re in that special place
that is peaceful with no end.

One day we will understand
and be freed from all this pain.
Oh, I simply cannot wait
for a hug from you again.
