How I wish there was someone To care about my tears. But alone I am and I alone Must face life and its fears. I feel much pain when my friends hurt They, in turn, hurt for me. But limitations are inherent In long distance sympathy. I can't wrap them in my hugs Or ease their aching heart. I can only send my love As I wish we weren't apart. And my cats offer company But tears they cannot dry. If there were arms to hold me close Perhaps I would not cry. |

well you get 4 or 5 hugs from me, and a well done! ![]() and there's one nice thing about long distance hugs, its that the person can't squirm out of them, you just hit them with one(or five lol) and that's that ![]() |

Ahhh yes...I do so well know the feelings in this poem. I have a cyber family and I wish I could have them all close, even just for a small piece of time. Then the warmth of the hugs can be felt when they are extended. Well done suthern. |

Hoot: Believe me, that support and those cyberhugs mean a lot! *S* Munda: Thank you! And yes... I did! *G* I don't often try to answer the challenges, because my first response is always "I can't." It's a pleasant surprise to realize I can! *G* Marilyn: Amen!!! *S* Thank you! |

Suthern, you would always get a big hug from me. Just because that meanie Toe won't give you the attention you so desperately crave and deserve, please know that I would always put my arms around you (after checking both hands for sharp objects that could inflict bodily harm on me) |

Thanks, 'Deer one... it warms my heart and comforts me in the night to know you see me as such a desperate woman... your sympathy brings a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat... Here, gimme a hug... this hat pin should do wonders for perking up your afternoon... and watch for swiftly lifted knees! LOL |
