A Powerful Voice

A Powerful Voice

As Christmas draws closer our thoughts turn to kin,
we know that this year is diverse.
For some of us it’s just so hard to  begin
to know how to handle this curse.

With loved older parents we no longer touch,
yet wish we could hug and draw near.
Resisting the need to reach out oh so much
but know to the rules we’ll adhere

Yet  thinking  about why a hug feel so good,
It is not just a fanciful thing,
our bodies release bonding hormones that flood
Oxytocin can make your heart sing!

But here is a thing that perhaps you won’t know,
and this year it will give us a choice.
Whilst a hug generates loads of Oxytocin
The same happens when hearing your voice!

The sound of the voice of someone you love
is a soothing and magical thing,
so even if hugging is out for this year
know the ‘feel good ‘they’ll get when you ring.

Just pick up a phone, and talk long and with love
Just to hear you will set them aglow
And ‘though hugs postponed until maybe next year
Your voice has more power than you know!

Hi Tony and thank you so much for your really lovely comments. I was moved to write about this as it is almost 9 months since I  last held my Mothers hand..During that time she has sadly entirely lost  the power of speech as she has advanced Dementia so my only recent contact with her has been by Skyp calls..but...I have seen what a difference it can make to her, just hearing a voice that I hope she knows loves her..I am sure that she gets as much comfort from that as she would have holding my hand..so I keep  thinking positively  about that.. and really appreciate the fact that you enjoyed it also my dear friend
