Eight Hugs a Day

 

You need ten hours of sleep.

Three good meals a day.

Exercise and take a rest,

Don’t forget some time to play.

 

If someone’s feeling sad,

If someone’s feeling sick,

To show them that you love them,

You know a hug will do the trick.

 

It’s silent when we hug.

It’s what we love to do.

I'll make sure you're ready

before I get a hug from you.

 

Give them to your family. 

Give them to your friends.

Give them to your teacher

And one group hug before school ends.
