Power of Hugs

I make it a must to do it at least once a day Regardless of whether my dog is clean or not As a hug given to her Calms me down as much as it calms her down, Taming the raging torrent that rages in me Into a magical clear water pond And making of me, A mystical Queen always accompanied By her companion, a pawed super hero, Both living only for the joy of discovering the cosmos! A hug, shared with my fluffy pet, Reminds me always of the need to keep my heart Bursting with love, even if the rest of the world Is made of hatred, indifference and selfishness As the rules of life are and shall keep on being harsh on us To live we do, but someday, we shall no more And if we can share hugs, just for the sake of giving ourselves A feel good element, Well, why not become angels of hugs Spreading their power to all humankind?
