The Power of a 
(((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 the way to share the joy 
And sad times we go through, 
Or just a way for friends to say 
They like you 'cuz 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 language, 
It's always understood. 
And hugs don't need equipment, 
Special batteries, or parts-- 
Just open up your arms 
And open up your hearts.
