Hugs & Kisses

I Hugs

A hug is a time for intimate embrace
Heart to heart and face to face
The Words we speak are the threads God seeks
To knit our hearts together with
As we draw near one to another
As each heart ponders the other
Let this prayer be answered
Each and every time we hug
“Oh let your heart now
be knit together with mine in love”

II Kisses

A kiss is an expression of Love’s intent
That our lips would only bless
The one for whom the kiss is meant
All that passes through our lips
All words and all speech
Will only bless, edify and nourish
The one who’s ears they reach
As our hearts are knit together
Make this prayer your goal –
“Oh may my words be as a kiss upon your soul”

“Nothing I say will taste bitter in your heart
but sweet water only will my tongue impart”

Remember now this saying found in Holy Writ –
“Let us greet one another brethren,
with a Holy Kiss…” Jam:3:11
