The Hugger

Oh, here she comes again.
Again.
With arms outstretched like a
Mother hen.
Every greeting she begins
With a robust hug of
A long-lost friend.

May have just seen you yesterday, but
Gonna hug you anyway.
Like hungry bears besiege their prey
Defying you to break away.

She swoops and smothers as she clings,
And you pray she’ll unclench her wings,
But marvel at the joy she brings
And how the air around her sings.

As light as bubbles in the air
Her happiness spreads everywhere.
She’ll give your heart
The fondest tug
Swaddled in a joyous hug.
