I NEED A HUG

At the end of a lengthy

And tiring day

When I've faced the world

In my private way,

I need a hug!

When I'm hungry and cranky

And feeling up tight

And a day has just passed

When too little went right,

I need a hug!

When my body is craving

The warmth of another

And my poor aching muscles

Compete with each other,

I need a hug!

When I'm insecure

And a little bit nutty

And my mind is exhausted

My body like putty,

I need a hug!

When I am affectionate,

Loving and caring

And want to enjoy

A real moment of sharing,

I need a hug!
