The Power of a Hug

If I’m angry and say things I don’t mean

If I’m sad but can’t explain why

The day my workload has overwhelmed me

Or if I look like I need to cry

If I tried my best but it failed

When I’m so tired I tell you ‘I’m done’

On those days you know I can’t think straight

Or I look like I’m not having fun

When you know problems are mounting

But I’m doing all I can do

When these days make an appearance

There’s one thing I need from you

Just hug me.
