Hugs - Hearts United (with) God (and) Self

God has called us not only to love Him, but to love one another.
In my family we hug meaning I love you.
When a member is sick we hug which says I wish you well.
When one is discouraged we hug to show our support,
When in time of celebrating, we hug, we are so proud of you.

A hug is healthy, all natural, non polluting and, of course fully returnable.

Kathy Dettling, a director of a long term care facility has stated that the most direct connection between two people occurs through the sense of touch. Touch, particularly,a HUG reaffirms an individuals self esteem. A HUG shows that someone cares; that the individual has value. We all need HUGS.

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 everyone

for whom we really care

From your grandma to your neighbor

or a cuddly teaddy 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.
