A Gift of Hugs

A Hug

Advertise | AdChoices

It rain today and a child cried

I stop the crying with a hug

A man was hurt when he lost his best friend

I gave him comfort with a hug

A woman found out her daughter needed help

I calmed her with a hug

A strangers car broke down on the highway

I changed their tire and they thanked me with a hug

I gave a hug and got one back

It made me feel so much better

A simple act that showed so much caring

A simple thing an so worth sharing

A hug can help in so many ways

A hug can be very moving

It shows you care so be willing to share

A hug, A hug, A hug

Wonderful and endearing poem Tony!

The gentle caring touch of another not only soothes the heart, but soul as well.

When my son was very little he'd tell me he was going to hug me "until my head popped off". I thought that was a mighty fine hug.

Hugs back to you, dear friend. This is a great poem and I love the bunny hugs.
