Hug Time
by Patrick McDonnell

Hug To-Do List:
best friends,
butterfly, buttercups, birds, blue whale,
panda, peacock, polar bear,
wombat, wallaby,
elephant, chimpanzee,
giraffe, hippo, tigers.

The world is so big,
so precious, so fragile, so round.
It's time that we embrace it all.
Filled with love,
give the whole world a hug.
That's something we all can do.

Will that make it better?
Yes.

Would YOU like a hug?
