WHAT A KISS AND A HUG CAN DO

May we be blessed to understand….
especially on days we’re feeling blue…
exactly what a simple hug and kiss can do.

They help us connect to others 
They’re like an umbrella in the rain…
They help reduce our stress
as well as eat our pain.

They remind us someone love us
They can help to ease our fears…
They let us know we’re not alone…
They can wipe away our tears.

I wonder in this time of upheaval
with people at each other’s throats
and countries waging war….
If this hatred for one one another would cease
If we hugged and kissed a little more.
