A hug to heal,
A kiss to soothe
A wounded knee,
A tiny bruise.
Little hands
And arms so small
Seeking cuddles,
Love’s purest call.
Arms envelop
Showing love
Attention given,
Caress of dove –
Innocent
And chaste display
Comfort, cherish,
Make my day.
Life’s little hurts
And big ones too
Assuaged by my arms
Holding you
And you hold me
In tender clutch
Young and old
Can give so much
From arms’ encircling,
Blameless revelation,
Hug each other,
Love’s demonstration.
