BIG BIRD & SNUGGLEBUGS

by Melissa Arel



I was on my knees praying
On the living room floor
When I started crying
I didn’t know what for
Jacob looked over at me
And gave a quizzical look
Then went through his toys
And went through his books
He grabbed Big Bird
And ran quickly to me
Offered him with a smile
He was as cute as can be
I grabbed Jacob and kissed him
Gave him a big hug
Thankful to God
For my sweet snugglebug

Adding this to my favorites. I call my niece & nephew my snugglebugs. Children know, and they also reflect. You are so blessed!

and from out of the mouths and the hearts of babes come great abiding truths...and i can see this story now as it unfolded, Mel!

Children have a sweet way of making us feel so loved. What a sweet poem. One I can certainly relate to my babies.

Hi Melissa, This is soo adorable, so sweet. Jacob, your son. Saw you crying, he wanted to cheeer Mommie up. That's so precious. I put it on my favorites list. I first read it on the front page. Then I found it again. Oh yes, Congrad's on The Poet of the Day.

My oldest was in love with Big Bird, my middle one liked Mr Rogers and my youngest liked Grover. Now, my grandson LOVES Elmo and Spongue Bob (he's my little "Snugglebug" and he cheers me up when I'm blue! Great write- one that most parents/grandparents can relate to. Very enjoyable read!
