It was one of those days that nothing seemed to be going right.
My mind filled with racing thoughts
going different ways
Questions, questions with seemly no answers
as I pushed through the crowd
of wherever I was going.
Suddenly in my own world
I looked up
and there you were
passing me ever so quickly.
The smile that you gave me took my breath away.
A stranger’s smile in a maddening world.
There was such kindness in that smile of yours.
The warmest of feelings overcame me.
Peace and Joy was brought to my racing heart.
Long after you were gone
I tried to remember
what you looked like.
Were your eyes Blue or Brown?
All that remained in my mind’s eye
was the memory of that very special and endearing smile.
A smile that brought a smile to my own lips.
With a nod of my head
I gave thanks and appreciation
for this gift from a stranger.
Long after this time
a strange thought came to my mind.
Could angels be walking this earth
to remind each of us
that love can be
the gift of the day?

I have been where you are
a hell of loneliness and despair.
Had I created this place in my past
as you are now
where I was once?
I ask myself what pains cross your mind
as this day of many comes to you?
Do you hunger?
Are you without sleep?
The night only brings fear for your life.
Are you without anyone who cares
where you are this day?
Are you missed?
I too have been where you are.
From ashes of the mind did thou raise me
from a pit of worldly hell.
It was not my talents of mind
nor spirit that lead me from this dark world.
It was my prayers.
You never failed to hear me
when I cried out to you.
When I tried to end this life
you spoke gently to me
asking me to be patient
and wait one more day.
One day lead to another.
Finally the sun began to shine again
in your blessings and your love for me.
Thank you Lord
for giving hope to the hopeless
as you gave to me.
Thank you Lord
for loving me when I was without love.
Yea Lord without your grace
would I now be lost.

There is something wonderous about a hug.
It is a way of saying,”you are special to me.”
A step beyond the boundries of formal convention.
The assurance of a heart touching a heart.
A touch of comfort to calm a grieving heart.
A cheek touching a cheek
with a kiss of greeting.
Whether a man to man
or woman to woman
or man to woman
or woman to man
there are no limits to showing
our love for another.
We are all souls in His creation
with an eternal bond between us all.
The hug is the sign of our sisterhood and brotherhood.
Let it not become forgotten in your life
it is precious honey to the wounds of this life
forever giving
forever loving
in the wonder of love
to us all.
