If kisses were the water
I would give you the sea,
If hugs were the leaves
I would give you a tree,
If love was time,
I would give you eternity.

It's wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can say, "I love you so," or
"Gee, I hate to see you go."
A hug is "Welcome back again," and
"Great to see you! Where've you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain,
And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug! There's just no doubt about it...
We scarcely could survive without it!
A hug delights and warms and charms
It must be why God gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers.
And chances are your favorite aunts
Love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them; puppies love them;
Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier
And make your travels so much merrier.
No need to fret about your store of 'em;
The more you give, the more there's more of em!
So stretch those arms out without delay,
and GIVE SOMEONE a HUG TODAY!

No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;
It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorates your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self-esteem!
Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects,
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend,...the hug!
(and, of course, it's fully returnable!)
(Maureen Hawkins)
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 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.
(Shel Silverstein)
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
When everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
When everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

There's a hug to say I love you
And a hug to say goodbye
There's a hug to say how are you
And a hug to say we tried
There's a hug to bond a friendship
And a hug when the day is through
But the hug I love in all the world
Is the hug I get from you.
This is a Hug Certificate!!
Send One to All of Your Friends You Think Deserve a Hug.
Send this to Your Friends Including the Person Who Sent it to You!
What the heck, send it to your enemies as well! It'll really tic 'em off!
If you don't receive this back--Take the hint...nobody likes you and wishes you'd stop bugging them.
If you receive this back 1 time--Open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends...
If you receive this back 2 times--You Are Off to a start...unless you sent it to yourself...that's cheating.
If you receive this back 3 times--You Are a Good Friend...good for what stands to be seen...
If you receive this back 4 times--You are popular...I wanna be just like you.
If you receive this back 5 times--There are Angels watching over you, but probably out of morbid curiosity!
If you get more than that--Get off the darn computer and get a life!
