A Hug

The Hug I’m just a hug if you need me If you’re down and close to despair Close your eyes and I know that you’ll feel me And you’ll know that I really am there. I’m just a hug if you need me I’ll always be there by your side Ready to help when I’m needed But happy to just be your guide. I’m just a hug if you need me Able to share in your woes Call my name, I’ll be there to support you Raise you up, keep you safe, help you know- That this hug is here when it’s needed Prescribed by the doctor upstairs As a tonic to lighten your spirit And a shield in case no one else cares I’m just a hug if you need me A step away from your soul Ask, I’ll be there to protect you I’m the master of all of your foes.
