Don’t Underestimate a Cuddle

Give someone you know a hug

The benefits are well known

We humans love a cuddle

Especially those who are alone.

The feel-good factor of a hug

Cannot be dismissed

It makes us feel valued

Like when we’re being kissed.

A great big loving bear hug

That sweeps you off your feet

Isn’t the sort of greeting

You’d give everyone you meet.

But a nice, firm but gentle cuddle

With strong arms around each other

Is reserved for family members

Parents, sisters or a brother.

For someone you’ve not met before

A polite, formal hug is best

If you appear a bit too friendly

You could soon be known as a pest.

But the best cuddles of all, of course

Are those reserved for lovers

A passionate hug, combined with a kiss

Are on a level above all others.

So make someone smile with a cuddle

Make their day a happier one

Young or old, we all need them

I feel sad for those who get none.
