Reaching...

To touch

Anything

Or anyone

We cannot remain

Clenched

We must reach…

Sometimes

We reach

With our hands

And sometimes

We reach

With a prayer

To touch our loved ones

Wherever

They are

Is life’s

Most beautiful Blessing,

By far

As the limo door closed to waving hands, to smiles and tears, I was glad to know they are never farther than a prayer away.
