One Last Hug

A wise man once had told me as I sat sadly on his knee Son, don’t be afraid to hug someone When you get the opportunity He said life’s too short for shaking hands and keeping distance there Just hug someone because you can To show them that you care. “You know”, he whispered as he leaned to me with his eyes so full of love “my daddy told me when I was small that they came from God above”. So he gave me a great big hug and said how does it make you feel? I said with giggling laughter “like a silly circus seal “ Well God he knew, that we would need Something to touch our heart When times got tough and we were sad and needed a new start So he created hugs to cheer us up and make us feel brand new Because no matter who we are we need to feel loved too So my son you can shake a hand and play the average role Or you can hug a man with open arms and you’ll have touched his soul That wise man who so long ago held me upon his knee Was the greatest hugger that ever lived he was my dear ol’ dad you see. But now he’s gone and I’m feeling sad Cause I miss him oh so much The way he kissed and hugged you tight He had a special touch So if I had, a single wish to make this sadness flee I’d wish a moment with that wise old man A “one last hug” for me.
