Arturo Michael Poet Lyric

The Great Hug

Everybody needs

A little love and care

A friendly hello, how are you dear

A little smile 

Can go for millions of miles

To make rainbows out of stormy skies


You don't have to be 

Extravagant 

A little courtesy is sufficient

But what I have to say I can't hold back

I really mean it 

And that's a fact


I want to hug you, in  the  morning

Before it's breakfast time

I believe my arms were made for hugging you

And yours were meant for mine


I want to hug you, in  the  afternoon

A sunny evening delight

I want to snuggle really close when stars are out

And hug you under moonlight

Daniel Turner June 28, 2019 at 2:38 PM Congratulations on POTD Arturo. Have to be careful about giving hugs here in America. Someone will file charges against you for sexual assault. It used to be done in innocent friendship, now you'll be labeled a sexual predator. That is what we have become...MINDLESS! Arturo Michael June 28, 2019 at 3:26 PM Correct...i'll have to come back as a child again...for now just for lovers....
