Loving Hugs

Been signing off lately with 'loving hugs'

Though miles and miles apart

My love is sincere and every bit as meaningful

As if your were standing in my doorway about to leave

I have so much love to give

It is overflowing

Some people may think it's not sincere

Trust me, if I sign off with, love and hugs from Jack

It is sincere, believe me

If you ask me how I got this way

I don't have a good answer

All I know is I've been overflowing with love

All my life

But since retiring, it's even more intense

Perhaps it's the thought I can no longer look ahead

Twenty or thirty years and make plans

So I sit and reflect on what has gone before

Giving thanks for the dear friendships I've had
And in particular for those I have now

I also give thanks for the extraordinary life

I have been so fortunate to have had

We all should remember the good things

And sign off with 'loving hugs'

For tomorrow is a gift that may never come
