Free Mom Hugs
Love senses the need.
Notices the pause.
Sees the eyes change.
Feels the energy shift.
The long line of loving hearts
in the community of saints
whispers go,
be,
no hesitation.
This is what you are here for.
A groundswell of love
will propel you forward.
The wisdom of years
will quietly keep everybody safe.
Cared for, beloved, wanted.
How all good parents
want their children to feel.
How God wants us to feel.
How we make a better world,
one freely-given,
freely-received
embrace
at a time.
Sometimes, to reach the groundswell
a trestle bridge has to be built
and crossed.
Over and away from the neglect.
Your words strengthen the hope
and faith which a good hug focuses us on,
that forward peace.
“fall afresh on me”
