Full of Goodness

I hug the words from my life like kites hug the wind and use their strength and power to guide my direction never to drift on the air of dreams without being tethered to reality by the long string of wisdom held by the strong grip of her words that echo still to this day "the only thing you need to worry about is your next breath" "do not waste a minute on the gossip of unimportance" "never get pulled into the garbage of people, you will create enough of it on your own" I hug these lessons from my mother whose heart was full of goodness Looking back I wish I had hugged her more 5/31/20 Hug poetry contest

Such wonderful imagery, Frederic. Impressive - "tethered to reality," "strong grip of her words." Beautiful tribute to the life tethering wisdom of her words.
