Why A Hug?

                                                   

I need a hug,

When I’m feeling sad,

      And also when, I’m feeling bad,

That’s when I need a hug.

Give me a hug,

             When I’m in pain, a hug is what I need,

 A simple hug will ease the pain,

And make it better again.

Come hug me, will you please.

I want a hug,

   When I’m feeling weak,

To give me strength,

When I’m at my peak,

       Oh! How much I want a hug.

I’d love a hug,

For reassurance,

To lift my spirits,

And promote endurance,

I’d love to have a hug.

Oh! Hug me,

   When I’m filled with glee,

Because even when,

I’m feeling good,

         The time is right for you and me,

     Oh! Hug me, hug me; hug me.

Just hug me,

For no reason why,

And I’ll hug you back,

         Now please don’t cry, oh me oh my,

     For the sake of love, just hug me.
