A hug<\/p>\n\n\n\n

can do so many things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It warms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It holds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It provides a place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for love to grow<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hug<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is free<\/p>\n\n\n\n

free<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to receive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and free<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to give away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hug<\/p>\n\n\n\n

can be strong<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or timid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but they all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

resonate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

trust and hope<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hug<\/p>\n\n\n\n

consoles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and shares<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all of life’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

great despairs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most of all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hug<\/p>\n\n\n\n

travels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

through the arms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

into hearts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

beat as one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
