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.

“Seasons” in Mabank, Texas
Commentary from December 2nd, 2013: To me, the Christmas Season is the time of year for me to remember those who have passed on that were important to my life. Following is another poem about another of those special individuals in my own life.
Joe passed away on February 12th, 2010. It was after the record snow storm of February 2010. The power went out in their home. He and is wife, Christine were moving into temporary quarters in the New Comfort Inn of Mabank, Texas when he quietly passed on. Joe would have been 81. Joe was a sweet, loving and very kind man. He loved McKinney, Texas. Whenever he spoke of McKinney his face took on a glow of peace, his childhood, his friends, his memories were many of those days in McKinney. There was a deep longing in his voice for some of those memories. Some of those memories were with extreme joy, while others seemed to carry regret. As with all of us, one could not have lived a full life without a certain amount of regret. I will miss Joe and our talks, when he sat down with us to visit at the “Seasons” restaurant in Mabank, Texas. Joe was proud of his wife Christine. Joe loved Christine with the deepest of love. I myself, only have one regret that I did not have more time to know Joe Burton even more. People like Joe are very special humans. Sadly in this day and age there are not enough special people to go around for us all."The Journey" copyright 2005 John J. Rigo "Roses Amidst Thorns"
