Hugs are truly a daily need
In order for everyone to succeed.
So open up your arms and share
Let someone know you really care.

A hug can carry you for miles
Or change your face into a smile.
When hugs are too far between
You run on empty without any steam.

Hugs are fuel for the human spirit
Give them away and don't forget it.
Remember how they make you feel
Hugs are medicine and truly can heal.

Hug your children - Hug your friends.
You always win in the very end.
For every time you give one away
You get more hugs coming back your way.
