A hug is a wonderful gift to share, 
A way to show each other that we care; 
There is so much a hug is able to do, 
When you feel those arms holding you. 

A hug is a place to feel safe and warm,
A comfort for a sad heart that is torn; 
An expression of the love in our heart, 
For ones who we wish, never to be apart. 

A hug is a greeting when we meet to say hello, 
Or to say goodbye when we have to go; 
It can hold us up when life gets us down, 
And makes us smile, instead of frown. 


A hug can be given for no reason at all, 
And given to those, both big and small; 
We're never too old to feel the joy it brings, 
As it is one of life's most pleasing things. 

And for all of this beauty, a hug is free! 
It costs nothing, yet means so much to me; 
We should all hug another to show we care, 
For to feel a warm hug, nothing can compare.
