A Simple Hug...

There's something in a simple hug That always warms the heart; It welcomes us back home And makes it easier to part A hug's a way to share the joy And sad times we go through, Or just a way for friends to say They like you 'cause you're you Hugs are meant for anyone For whom we really care, From your grandma to your neighbor, Or a cuddly teddy bear A hug is an amazing thing - It's just the perfect way To show the love we're feeling But can't find the words to say It's funny how a little hug Makes everyone feel good; In every place and type, It's always understood And hugs don't need new equipment, Special batteries or parts Just open up your arms And open up your hearts
