It’s National Compliment Day! Give yourself a hug (with Grace Nichols) image credit Emily Sutton 💗 Give yourself a hug,
when you feel unloved

Give yourself a hug
when people put on airs
to make you feel a bug

Give yourself a hug
when everyone seems to give you
a cold-shoulder shrug

Give yourself a hug-
a big big hug

And keep on singing
"Only one in a million like me,
Only one in a million-billion-trillion-zillion
like me"
