One Hug

Who will hug the unhugable Who will provide them dreams Who will push past the barbs Who will go to extreames Light to their darkness They need to be exposed To a world they can trust in Thaw a heart that's been froze My arms are wide open I will make my way No longer unhugable Not after this day The hug was a gift Maybe more for me They were always willing It was me that couldn't see Appearances deceiving Behind those angry eyes Now I see the full picture It was just their disguise

Ah I wish I could reach through the computer here and give you a great big hug. I used to hate people touching me, I never was one to say I love you, or even look people in the eyes, but now I'm a happy freak and I would love to give you a hug!! :)

Sometimes one hug is all it takes to turn around someones day and change their perspective - to see that someone cares. Wonderful poem Richard.
