I need a hug like the one before
You held me tight in your arms
Like never before
I need a hug to feel secure
With you by my side forever more
I need a hug, but your no longer here
I heard you tell me i had nothing to fear
But i need your hug to feel safe in your arms
Now its just a memory, and sadness fills my heart
Surround by people yet feeling so alone
I need a hug.....................

Hugs @Chris, your poem was quite emotive. I could really feel the emotion behind it. I do hope your sort of ok?
Welcome @nannaanna to the boards. You've come to the right place to receive support from our wonderful members. I'm worried though that members may not 'see' your post. Have you had an opportunity to check out the rest of the boards at all? You might like to introduce yourself in the 'Introduce Yourself Here' thread (which can be found in Enjoying Time With Others forum). When you're ready you might like to share some of your story by creating a new thread in Our Experiences and Stories forum. Just wanted to welcome you and give you a hug too. 🙂
