	Refresh page F5 when using a direct link from inside a thread posting Just a Little Hug By Emily Matthews A hug can say, “I’ll miss you,” Or, “I’ll be thinking of you,” It can say, “You’re someone special,” Or, best of all, “I love you.” It can soothe a hurt, or calm a fear, Or cheer us when we’re blue— It almost seems a miracle All the things a hug can do! When the sun is refusing to shine on your day and you’re finding it hard just to cope, When you’re seeing more rain clouds than stars in the sky and you just feel like giving up hope, That’s the time when someone comes along with a smile and a warm hug that says, “It’s okay— Tomorrow is coming, so don’t give up now— Brighter moments are soon on their way!” « « « « « « « This “Hug” is for “You” !!! ~ You “are” someone special ~ Post Edited (bluebird) : 10/22/2007 1:00:40 PM (GMT-6) Back to Top
