What's in the name

This poem came as I was trying to explain in my head what this blog is about.  I have had pain, joy, laughter and heartache.  My prayer is the poems bless even just one.


The {Word} Hug

My soul knows world's test
the man I loved tragically dead
child to raise, knowing alone not best
then married, hit rope's frayed end
divorce enters my life
now which way to go?
grief slices deep its knife
can I through all of this grow?
maybe but still so lost
married number time two
still not about life sure, soul tossed
blended family, learning how to do
many people step in
with different hugs along the way
show me how to begin
Spirit through them urging me to stay
sometimes with call, babysitting or money
Jesus saying: I'm right here, Honey
all of this someday used
waiting many years long
praying I too have hugs to someone give
finally Jesus gives a way to bless and belong
reason to excitedly, with grateful heart, live
my life lessons for others into world I'll send
praying to bless with word hug even one
urging them to hold on till the end
to remind them they are loved by heaven's Son.

{hugs}
