to bless extension

May extension of a hand be blessed. 
A reach up, or out, or down, or in, can
make a difference to an observer.
May the risk of extension be recognized
and quickly outweighed by perceived good 
accomplished.
May extension stretch the goodness of 
the day into the morrow.
 This extension may touch a surface need,
then at just the right moment 
add the words, "how are 'you' doing my friend."
May the heart be ready for extension of friendship,
of a hug, of touch to humanity.

And may extension serve to remind that 
humanity will touch back.
