Time has moved on
In its inexorable way
And yet,
Though only months have passed
I see the sunshine
Where once there was only black
And dull, dark thoughts.
It’s staggering
What a hug
Will do for the spirit
Just nine days ago
I was hugged by
The grandest of children
To grace the land.
They were eighteen month hugs
And they were
Wonderful!
So uplifting is
A simple hug.
Proof
If ever it was needed
That life does go on
And is worth it
Despite the
Pitfalls.
I felt truly
Blessed. After all.
