HUGGING YOU

Below is a poem written a few years ago to my valentine, Dave. "He's a great hugger," my Aunt Annie told me when she first met Dave. We went to visit her in PA after we were married and she hosted a wedding reception for us. Aunt Annie, in her 80's now, knew from just one hug that I had made a good choice. She's right. Hope you all have hugs this Valentine's Day that remind you of what a gift it is to be loved.


Hugging You

is like diving

into an envelope

stationery
folded neatly in thirds
words tucked in

wrapped in ribbon

for safe-keeping

Share how you feel about hugs.
