HUGGINGIt'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! Where 'er you been?" A hug can soothe a small child's pain And bring a 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, swell for brothers; And chances are your favorite aunts love them more than potted plants. Kittens crave them, puppies love them, Heads of states are not above them. A hug can break the language barrier And make your travel so much merrier. No need to fret about your store of 'em; The more you give, the more there are of 'em. So stretch those arms without delay And give someone a hug today!- Dean Walley, (the Messenger)
