A Hug
Isn’t it ironic how a little hug makes everyone feel good?
It’s a language that everyone understands.
A hug is something everyone can do!
A hug can cheer up someone when they’re down and blue!
A hug is a simple thing to do.
A hug can warm someone’s lonely heart!
A hug is a good way for friends to say, ‘hi’ and ‘good-bye’.
A hug can be a way to share someone’s joy.
A hug can help someone through a sad time.
A hug can help soothe a small child’s pain!
A hug is good at anytime!
So stretch those arms and open up your heart!
Hugs are free…have you hugged someone today?

Where’s the Love?
Has the love for God and others grown cold?
When I was a child things were so different.
We had love and we had commitment.
We had each other which was always expected;
There was a love for God and each other that we all respected.
The simplest things always mattered the most,
Whether food on the table or just burnt toast.
Do we as a people still have love for family and God or does an old fashioned way of living seem quite odd?
The world around us is out of control.
We are feeding the fires that burn the soul.
We must get back to the love that is real
We can’t let this negative world steal our zeal.
If only we had chosen the garden and not war?
Every wound would have faded and every broken heart would love again.
There are much better things ahead then we’ve left behind.
So keep the faith and love and shine, shine, shine!
