I hugged my friends today
It’s something we often do
Arms wrapped tightly
We held on longer than long
Bodies trembled as we fought
The emotions bottled inside
Desperately seeking to ease the ache
And quiet the anxiety and fear
For a moment we forgot the world
The demons were kept at bay
The fires, the smoke, the devastating loss
Were momentarily put aside
Knowing that we were safe
At least at that moment on that day
Briefly sent our minds at ease
As we went our separate ways
I sent a silent prayer above
To keep them safe from harm
I hugged my friends today
It’s something we often do
