A Hug a Day

A hug a day
is knowing you are special, 
as your spouse wraps his arms
around your ample waistline, 
which has expanded over the years, 
he still loves you through diets and tears.

A hug a day
is that joyful touch which feels so good, 
a warm and fuzzy feeling tingling the toes,
puts a smile on your face which glows, 
invites a smooch or two which is magical, 
locks lips together which is dynamical. 

A hug a day 
is a dose of feel good medicine, 
lasts for hours until the next one, 
smoothes the soul and rough edges, 
sails in the waters of a calm sea,
challenges of life are treated with glee.
