He hugs me in so many ways
Beyond my even knowing,
Every manifestation of His Love
Is a Hug that He is showing.

His loving Will allowing me
To live when and where I do,
Is a tender Hug from God
Oh the marvels that I view.

The LORD who never slumbers
Awake to all alarms,
Craddles me in my weariness
Hugging me in his Mighty Arms.

Loving me despite my flaws
That Great One from above,
Surrounds me with His Grace Divine
Sublime is His Hug of Love.

And even when He chastens me
His hands, not bent on wrath,
The Hugs of His correcting
Are His firm Love-Pats.

What manner of Love hath He bestowed
That I, a Child of His may be,
Knowing now that Perfect Love
He shows so Huggably!

With Time He now enfolds me
But now for a brief while,
Until His Hug is broadened
To an Everlasting Smile!


No Better Place do I know
Than where Hearts knit as
one,
For in that grand
experience,
The Better ALL become.

God Bless us All!!!

From tender hugs come tender writings. This is one of those tender pieces David.

Very peaceful feeling flows from this.  
Thanks for joining the challenge David!
What a marvelous addition you've added to it.

This is great!  I especially like the way you've so beautifully shown His hugs even when disciplining us all the way to the eternal one.  Thank you, David.

This is a good poem!  This challenge is still out there?  haha    
On a more technical note, I think that the english language needs more words that rhyme with "arms!"  All agreed, raise a hand?  
I use this word often and it's impossible to rhyme!  
Well you worked "alarms" in nice still.  hah
