HUGS
Author Unknown
It’s wonderous…what a hug can do
It can cheer you up when you’re blue
A hug can say “I love you so”
And “how I hate to see you go”
A hug means welcome back with cheer
It seems that you’ve been gone a year
A hug can soothe a small child’s pain
And bring a rainbow after rain.
About a hug there is no doubt
It’s something we can’t do without
A hug will warm, delight and charm
It must be why God made an arm.
Hugs are great for favorite aunts
“Twill help them more than potted plants
Kittens brave them, puppies love them
Heads of State are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier
And make the dullest day far merrier
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today.
