PoemHug O’ War
Author / PoetShel Silverstein
TagsKindness, Peace, Playfulness, Positivity

I will not play at tug o’ war.
I’d rather play at hug o’ war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses
And everyone grins
And everyone cuddles
And everyone wins.
