Long Distance Hug

Last night, I had a dream--
Only it seemed to be real.
Never before have I woken with such a
Gnawing sense of foreboding.

Damned are the sinners
In each of us. Damned are the
Saints as well. We are given a
Taste of medicine called "real life"
Answerable only in prayers.
Never once did we consider
Chances that ill would strike
Ever so close to home.

Hope is all we have to offer
Under the circumstances. I
Give you all I've got.

I figured there were a couple of hugs due. Blame Nan for the acrostic kick.

I'm glad you liked it. As you know, several long distance persons were in serious need of hugging.
