'hug a Stranger'

his unexpected request
mesmerized by his physique
his wish became my command
I hugged a stranger

loved this piece of great poetry you wrote Wilma, but i would be afraid to hug a stranger, might get punched. but in bible times they kissed on the cheek whenever they met a stranger or a brother or sister. thank you for reading and commenting on Heart of Gold.

I we gave hugs more freely, I think this would be a better world, Wilma. Love the thought of hugging a stranger and bonding with someone new. I'll let you know how the EKG turns out. Thanks for your good wishes. Love, Carolyn

No this is not crazy.. but normal... I have done that before.. gave strangers friendly hugs... lol... I'm crazy I guess... once a man was sad... and by the phone... I asked him if he needed a hug... he said yes... well glad I made him feel better... and on a plane I hugged a stranger... lol... thought I was gonna.. die... well enjoyed your write...p.d.
