Array ( [sid] => 13667 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Just A Kiss At The Door [time] => 2003-03-03 19:20:00 [hometext] => Do you want your loved ones to know they are someone that you are glad to see? [bodytext] => A little kiss at the door,
just what does it say?
Do we take it for granted
as we go our way?
When we meet again,
do we show our interest?...
express our love?...
tell events of the day?

Don't take for granted
this little kiss
and think not important
if you should miss.
there are unspoken messages
relayed in each one.
They tell of promise,.. stability.
They say, "You belong."

Is it only a custom
you've been kissing them for?
There is much you can say
when one leaves your door.
Whether for a short time
or returning no more,
give your parting ang greeting
your full attention.
Let your hug and kiss
express your intention.
Make your gesture say,
"You're important to me."
Think about it,.. Mean it!
Its nutrition, emotionally.

The one that feels valued
as they leave your door,
Is stronger, wiser, wealthier,
not nearly as poor.
That one
looks forward to returning again
To the arms and heart
that are open to him.

Just A Kiss At The Door

A little kiss at the door,
just what does it say?
Do we take it for granted
as we go our way?
When we meet again,
do we show our interest?...
express our love?...
tell events of the day?

Don't take for granted
this little kiss
and think not important
if you should miss.
there are unspoken messages
relayed in each one.
They tell of promise,.. stability.
They say, "You belong."

Is it only a custom
you've been kissing them for?
There is much you can say
when one leaves your door.
Whether for a short time
or returning no more,
give your parting ang greeting
your full attention.
Let your hug and kiss
express your intention.
Make your gesture say,
"You're important to me."
Think about it,.. Mean it!
Its nutrition, emotionally.

The one that feels valued
as they leave your door,
Is stronger, wiser, wealthier,
not nearly as poor.
That one
looks forward to returning again
To the arms and heart
that are open to him.

Bizzy, this was so beautiful and touching, no-one enters or leaves my home without a hug and a kiss, been through to much and never no it they will be here tomorrow, I'll just say they are squeezed pretty good around my home,

Dear, Val, Praise the Lord for this awareness!
I'm so glad that you are you and that you are so loving and hospitable. It is a calling, I believe. Blessings to you and yours. Bizzy
