The Hug!
It’s wonderous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you’re blue.
A hug can say, “I love you so,”
Or, “Gee, I hate to see you go.”
A hug is, “Welcome back again.”
And, “Great to see you! Where’ve you been?”
A hug can soothe a small childs 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.
A hug can break the language barrier,
and make your travels so much merrier.
No need to fret about your store of ’em,
the more you give, the more there’s more of ’em.
So stretch those arms without delay
and give someone a hug today!

with the holiday season in full swing, I thought this poem was great because the one thing that seems to be given out a lot during this time of year is… hugs.

Being such a doggie lover, and having a 10.5 lb. Maltipoo hugging up to a 65 lb. Black Lab on winter evenings, I just flipped out when I say the puppy hugs photo! I have posted this on my Facebookwall. We all should soak up this post again just before we start opening Christmas gifts!
