A hug heals what the heart conceals.
Quote - Poet’s own
Spontaneous hugs cost nothing at all Though they can raise one to feel ten feet tall When you are down a hug lifts your spirits Alike a ballad’s romantic lyrics. Who can tell what someone is going through They may just need a hug coming from you To put their world right, ease trouble or strife A hug’s chartreuse for elixir of life. Hugs speak louder than words could endeavour Has one dancing on air, light as feather If you are feeling unhappy or sad Capture a hug, you will be ever glad. Hugs from the one that you love most of all Says “Darling, I'm here whenever you fall" Hugs can mend a heart that’s broken in two And shows someone does care dearly for you.

Belle, I can see you are a touchy feely kind of gal. I feel the same way. You never know what the person is going through and just to give them a ray of sunshine, makes yours and their day.

Belle, I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the human hug. To be cared about and lovingly embraced is health food - good for the heart, mind, body, and soul. I had a friend once who would receive a hug gladly then say, "just what the doctor ordered!". Love it, thanks for the smiles today, and congrats for the win. Hugs ~ John

A delicate poem, dear Belle and wish you luck in the contest. I often include some endearment in my poems to most female poets. But only to those who deserve it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too forward or the recipient may not appreciate it. But so far I have not received any complaints.

Dear Victory I’m not complaining either, I’ve never read anything too forward in your replies to anyone. I thank you most sincerely for your comment and appreciate it very much poet pal… Belle
