It's wondrous what a hug can do
A hug can cheer you when you're blue,
A hug can say "I love you so" or
"Gee I hate to see you go."

A hug is "Welcome back again," and
"Great to see you ! Where've you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain,
And bring a rainbow after rain.

A hug! There's just no doubt about it...
We scarcely could survive without it!
A hug delights and warms and charms.
It must be why God gave us arms!

Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for sisters and swell for brothers,
And chances are your favorite aunt
Loves them even more than potted plants.

Kittens crave them, puppies love them.
Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier,
And make your travels so much merrier.

The more you give, there's more of them!
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Stretch those arms without delay,
And give someone a hug today!

Wishes for you Sweet Friends

Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss our ears,
Sunsets to warm our hearts
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten our being,
Beauty for our eyes to see,
Confidence for when we doubt,
Faith so that we can believe,
Courage to know ourselves,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete our lives.

ONLY IN AMERICA
~ author unknown.

Only in America .....do drugstores make sick folks walk all the way
to the back of the store for their prescriptions, while healthy
people can buy cigarettes right near the front door.

Only in America ......do people order Double Cheeseburgers,
Large Fries, and a Diet Coke.

Only in America ......do banks leave both doors open,
while chaining pens to the counters.

Only in America ......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars
in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Only in America ......do we buy hot dogs in packages
of ten and buns in packages of eight.

Only in America ......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well:
'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

Only in America ......do they have drive-up ATM machines
with Braille lettering. Only, in America!!!
