Hug Your Children Tight Tonight
Hug your children
Tight tonight
Let them know you care
For could be come
A day too soon
When they no longer
Might be there
They can slip away
In the blink of an eye
Like smoke into the air
I speak as one who often cries
At night for one not there
So hug your children
Tight tonight
Caress their face and hair
Don’t lose yours…
As I did mine
…Let them know you care…
