I asked my friend to meet for lunch
So we could exchange news
She had plans she couldn’t change
But soon we’d visit, we were overdue
I asked my sister for some time
One day a while ago
She said she had some things to do
When she was free, she’d let me know
I asked my brother to meet up
Just to spend a day
He said his schedule was all full
He’d reach out soon, he’d find a way
I asked my son to watch a movie
I thought we both might like
He had a game and date that night
But he’d call soon, and we’d grab a bite
I asked my husband to go out
And have some time for us
He said he had to tend the yard
We’d find some time, there was no rush
I asked my Lord to save a place
For me in Heaven’s land
He told me, “It’s all been tended to.
I’m waiting for you, come take my hand.”
