THE TRUTH ABOUT HUGS
Author Unknown
It’s wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you, when you’re so 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 have you been?”
A hug can soothe a small child’s pain
And bring a rainbow after the rain.
The hug, there’s 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 hugs 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’s of ’em.
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today!
