Two come together in embrace,
Arms extend to gather in.
In friendship greeting face to face,
Tender-tightly hugging then.
A moment from the busy day,
To meet the pressing human need,
Affections’ pure and open way,
Contact warm and close indeed…
Sweet embrace uplifting,
I cherish your refreshing.
Soothing is your comfort freely given.
By the arms that wrap me tightly,
You have truly strengthened me,
And I rest within the warm encircling peace…
Note: I posted this poem some months back, but with the inclusion of the recital I'm hoping the community finds some additional value. Thanks for reading and perhaps listening.
