It was chilly yesterday morning
A brisk breeze decided to
frisk the trees
making them giggle and
flounce around
the leaves were not amused and
hung on for dear life
i lingered as long as i could
then off to sing and exalt
God and thank Him for life
i got hugs yesterday from
people I don't see that often
real hugs
intentional hugs
not the
" what will people think?"
kind of hugs
but real hugs that said
"I appreciate you being here today"
"I'm glad to see you"
" you matter"
and guess what?
i felt like i mattered
to someone who was not interested in
anything more than letting me know
that they valued me
that they cared enough
to pour into me
a meaningful gesture
a simple hug
without fear
without restraint
without a second thought
and somewhere in my parched and
touch-starved soul
a little stream start trickling
across me
and a little garden started
sprouting.
