Hugs

Sometimes a hug is the only thing to say.

When getting through difficult days.

I wish that I could take away your pain

And be your sunshine in the rain.

But all I can do is stand by your side

On yet another bumpy ride.

Hearts will mourn, and hearts will grieve

In a world that only wants us to achieve.

Know that you don’t walk alone, my friend.

I’ll be with you right until the end.

As you hold your loves ones tight

Days lingering into autumn nights.

Hugs convey so many things

As cooler weather will give way to spring

Hopes that time and love will heal

In these times that seem all too surreal.

For now, wrap yourself in the comfort of this hug

That fits for you just right.

For a hug can be any size,

A fitting way in which to empathize.

When you feel ready, a meal awaits

Especially for you.

But for now, I send this hug

To help you get through.
