Just hug me

Just Hug Me


If I am your child,
Please hug me.
Persist, find ways to meet my needs.
Your goodnight hug
helps sweeten my dreams.
Your daytime hug tells
me how you really feel. ~

If I am your teenager,
Please hug me.
Don't think because
I'm almost grown,
I don't need to know
that you still care.
I need your loving arms,
I need a tender voice. ~

If I am your grown-up child
Please hug me.
Though I may have a family
of my own to hold,
I still need Mommy's and
Daddy's arms when I hurt.
As a parent the view is different,
I appreciate you more. ~

If I am your friend,
Please hug me.
Nothing lets me know you
care like a warm embrace.
A healing touch when
I'm depressed, assures me
I am loved, and
reassures me that
I'm not alone.
Yours may be the only
comforting touch I get. ~

If I am your husband or wife
Please hug me.
You may think that
your passion is enough,
But only your arms
hold back my fears.
I need your tender
reassuring touch,
to remind me
I am loved just
because I am me. ~

If I am your aging parent,
Please hug me.
The way I was touched
when I was very young.
Hold my hand,
sit close to me,
give me strength,
and warm my tired
body with your nearness.
Although my skin
is worn and wrinkled,
it loves to be stroked.
Don't be afraid
~Just Hug Me~
