The Great Hug

Everybody needs A little love and care A friendly hello, how are you dear A little smile Can go for millions of miles To make rainbows out of stormy skies You don't have to be Extravagant A little courtesy is sufficient But what I have to say I can't hold back I really mean it And that's a fact I want to hug you, in the morning Before it's breakfast time I believe my arms were made for hugging you And yours were meant for mine I want to hug you, in the afternoon A sunny evening delight I want to snuggle really close when stars are out And hug you under moonlight

Congratulations on POTD Arturo. Have to be careful about giving hugs here in America. Someone will file charges against you for sexual assault. It used to be done in innocent friendship, now you'll be labeled a sexual predator. That is what we have become...MINDLESS!

Arturo Michael

Correct...i'll have to come back as a child again...for now just for lovers....
