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 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 neighbour, 
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 new equipment, 
Special batteries or parts - 
Just open up your arms 
And open up your hearts.
