Long Distance Hug

_____________________________________

My mom made me a hug of wool

To comfort me when she could not

Some sad days it gets used a lot

*

Embraced when the world seems so cruel

Or I can’t face the rat race

Or for woes that seem minuscule

*

Love disguised as stuffing and knots

Mom crocheted me a hug of wool
