It's a wonder what a hug can do,
A hug is "Welcome back again!"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain
A hug delights and warms and charms
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Kittens crave them. Puppies love them.
A hug can break the language barrier,
No need to fret about the store of 'em.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
and, "Great to see you!" or
"Where've you been?"
and bring a rainbow after rain.
The HUG! There's just no doubt about it ,
We scarcely could survive without it.
It must be why God gave us arms.
Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers,
and chances are some favorite aunts
love them more than potted plants.
Heads of state are not above them.
And make the dullest day seem merrier.
The more you give, the more there are of 'em.
So stretch those arms without delay
and give some one a hug today.
