I Am Thankful

A beautiful soul

That hug,

Will be remembered,

I didn’t want to say goodbye,

But I am thankful to have met you.

**

Hours later,

And yet I still sit in disbelief,

Was I worthy of such kindness?

Such open-hearted generosity — I think not!

**

But don’t get me wrong,

I appreciated your gesture,

And can only hope that one day,

Yes, one day we’ll meet again — I dream!

**

We need more people like you in this world,

People who open their hearts,

Who spontaneously open their arms,

Like you opened to me — the unworthy one.

**

That hug,

Was unexpected,

A total surprise,

A welcome, heart-melting connection.

**

Thank you,

From my heart to yours,

A rare connection,

A rare connection indeed.

**

That awesome hug!

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
