Illustration Friday - Simple
HUGS
There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbour,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.

A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.

A simple idea -- but oh-so-important! :) I love these ones that link Valentine's Day to IF. Nicely done.

This is such a wonderful illustration of a hug! It is so warm and enveloping with the heart surrounding the couple...and what a perfect poem to go along with it.
