Hugs

It’s wondrous what a hug can do.

A hug can cheer you when you’re blue.

A hug can say, “I love you so,”

Or, “Gee, I hate to see you go,”

A hug is “Welcome back again,”

And “Great to see you; where’ve you been?”

A hug can soothe a small child’s pain

And bring a rainbow after the rain.

The hug! There’s just no doubt about it—

We scarcely could survive without it!

A hug delights and warms and charms.

It must be why God gave us arms.

Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,

Sweet for sisters; swell for brothers.

And chances are your favorite aunts

Love them more than potted plants.

Kittens crave them; puppies love them.

Heads of state are not above them.

A hug can break the language barrier,

And make your travels so much merrier.

No need to fret about your of them;

The more you give the more there’s of them.

So stretch those arms without delay

And give someone a hug today!
