THE HUG Its wonderous what a hug can do. A hug can cheer you when you're blue. A hug can say !I love you so_ѝ, Or 'Gee! I hate to see you go._ѝ A hug says 'welcome back again!_ѝ 'Glad to see you; where've you been?_ѝ 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 some favourite aunts Love them more than potted plants. Kittens crave them. Puppies love them. A hug can break the language barrier, And make the dullest days seem merrier. No need to fret about the store of _��em The more you give, the more there are of them. So stretch those arms without delay and Give someone a hug today!
