Poems of Lighthouse Bob

Needed Hugs from GOD #72



Alone and forsaken
to Sunday school she came
and when she wore her best,
she always looked the same.
Though a child from the streets,
I never thought her odd
for I knew she had come
for needed hugs from God.

Her dreams were all battered
like shrapnel in her heart.
She prayed for her family
and watched them fall apart.
Through the pain and heartache
that brought cold nights of tears,
I watched her grow stronger
as a child past her years.

“Dear God, as I ponder
the children just like she
looking for the answers
in life that just won't be,
help me as a Christian
to look past their facade
and reach out in ‘Your Love'
with needed hugs from God.”
