Thinking,
Reading,
Watching,
Its a visit to youtube.
Watched one video,
In it was so much,
Yet so little.
FREE HUGS was the title,
thats just what it was.
A man on the street,
Holding a sign,
Holding it high.
It came down from its perch often though,
When the man needed both arms,
To give out a hug.
It touched me inside,
So deep,
I nearly cried.
The man asked for nothing,
No money,
No gifts,
No one to sign up,
Just a smile or a kiss.
Made me think,
I do something,
Something like this.
Everday of my life,
I give to someone,
I make them happy,
As happy can be.
I do this for my girl.
But is it enough?
No,
I grab a shirt,
A marker,
I wrote on the shirt,
On front and on back.
Tomorrow I will wear it,
And make people happy,
By giving them something special,
FREE HUGS.

Best of luck. ~Pamela

Great sentiment, form expresses it well...
but there is no tie between this and the
prompt given. Thanks for the read! Blue -
I cannot see
the connection between your poem and the thrust of the contest. Sorry. Frans -
And ...
this is being a man in love and also being a bit of a donkey?
Thank you.

i can only guess that you watched the Sick Puppies video for "all the same"... it touched me so much last year that me and my friends all gathered and made t-shirts that read FREE HUGS and wore them on Sept. 11th. It was by far one of the best feelings ever to comfort a stranger with a simple hug
amazing job here and i hope that by wearing your FREE HUGS shirt tomorrow it brings you just as much joy as it did us!
[oh, and you have a few spelling errors you might want to fix: *nothing, *wear]
