A Great Big Hug

"A Great Big Hug"
© 2005 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc


It’s amazing what A Great Big Hug can do
It melts the ones who have hardened their hearts
And gives them strength to press on through

It makes one feel so loved and clean inside
Washing away the dirt and shame
Putting life back into their eyes

It can fill deep longings to be treasured & embraced
Break up many suppressed emotions
And put a smile back on their face

It can even fill gaps that were left throughout life
With a sense of love and acceptance
Simply by embracing one whose heart is right

A Great Big Hug helps those unstable feel more secure
That someone just may understand them
And has a love that is truly pure

A Great Big Hug brings peace to the weary soul
Calms the storms that rage inside
And leads many  out of a dark, lonely hole

It’s amazing what such an act of love can do
Especially if one hasn’t been embraced
Their whole life through

Yes, it’s amazing what A Great Big Hug can do
When extended with love and compassion 
That comes through vessels like you!
