Hugs


I MAKE UP THE SILLIEST REASONS FOR A HUG


I make up the silliest reasons for a hug.
A coughing sneezing flu or bug,
To venture to your healing arms
For safety from all ill harms.

No tears or moments of remorse.
For it's your arms, your grip that I seek
Like a falling star following its course.

Whether lonely or alone I see my home
Deep within your closing bosom
And so I make up the silliest reasons for a hug
Knowing that I need no reason.
