Oh I Wish I Could Give Out a Hug

Oh I wish I could give out a hug, To all those around me I love, See FaceTime is fine, for a moment in time, But it really just isn’t enough! Oh I wish I could give out a hug, I really have missed them so much, But we mustn’t be fools, keep the 2 metre rule. And learn other ways to show love! Oh I wish I could give out a hug, ‘Till I’m snug as a bug in a rug, But I’ll stick with the screen, till the powers that be, Say the ‘R number’ stays under 1! Oh I wish I could give out a hug, They’re a wonderful gift from above, We avoid those we see, when we walk down the street, It’s so sad what the world has become. Oh I wish I could give out a hug, But I’ll wait till the death of this bug, And for now I’ll resist, give an air hug and kiss, Even though on my heart strings it tugs! Oh I wish I could give out a hug, But I won’t be despondent because- The hug will come back, there’s no doubt about that, And I’m first in the line when it does! 18.08.2020 You can see a performance of this poem here: https://youtu.be/db1Z3MdNPO4
