I Like 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, “I hate to see you go.”
A hug is “Welcome back, again”
And, “Great to see you!”
Or, “Where’ve you been?”
A hug can soothe a small child’s pain,
And bring the rainbow after 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, even for brothers.
And, chances are, some favourite 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 the dullest day seem merrier.
No need to fret about the store of them
The more you give, the more there are of them.
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today.
