For You

I wrapped my arms around myself, And squeezed with all my might, The biggest hug there ever was, Popped out and took to flight. I pursed my lips and puckered up, To send to you a kiss, I closed my eyes and made a wish, That neither one would miss, I waved my hands before they left, And cast a little spell To guide them both from me to you, Through a magic wishing well Then I wished for one more thing, Before my deed was done That my hug and kiss be felt With every setting sun I did this so that every night Your dreams be free from fear And so you'll know, though you're away That Momma's always near
