I haven’t had a hug today
My daily quota is at least three
Do you have one to share with me?
I’m not too particular
Kind and gentle would be nice
Any gesture of affection will suffice.
I prefer a genteel expression
Athletes get a whack on the behind
But I’d be embarrassed to get that kind.
So if you can spare a moment
Let someone know you think they’re O.K.
It might be the best part of their day.
A tender squeeze on the shoulder,
Or a pat on the hand with a smile
Could make getting out of bed worthwhile.
After breakfast, I’ll take a walk
My flu shot should ward off any bug,
I should be all set today, when I get
My daily Minimum Hug!
