Notes About The Poem

Hugged By Love

He pulled me into
An embrace that was real
Like a light in the dark
Filling up my broken heart

His love hugged me
With kindness and tenderness
Whispers of serenity
Discovered inside love
That is alive and wise
Love that abides on the inside

He left me feeling sure
That love had warmed my soul
And I could always be certain
God was working through the one
Who touched my heart
And opened up the door
To grace that flows alive
Like a gentle kiss that abides

He is gone now
But his love lingers here
On the naked skin
Where hope always wins
And faith reminds you when
Love is there – in a prayer
You have been hugged by grace
And seen God face to face
