Hug O’ War

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.

–Shel Silverstein

I really like this poem because to me, it shows that there doesn’t have to be any fighting in the world. There can be a world where everyone does giggle, and everyone wins. You have the choice to be the person you are– the person that can change the world. So what are you going to play? Tug o’ war or hug o’ war?!
