Me Explorer

O Lucky Woman!

That would definitely be me. What I wrote in bed last night.

Something wonderful about tonight

A full day
and I don’t know much more
than I did the day before
but someone came to make
a very important appointment
he asked me
“Mom could you cuddle with me
tonight?”

It is not a difficult question to answer
so of course we made a date
and we stay up extra late
sometimes even past 10
so there we were on the bottom bunk
doing our cuddling thing
practicing our really fast smooches
and he also blew a raspberry
on my tummy

I know I am lucky
because even as I move
into being myself and the love
that holds me in gentle rightness
sometimes on a Sunday night
I get to rapid-fire kiss a tender cheek
and my favorite guy in the world
shares some cuddling time with me

A fortunate peace

Quietly
and very nearly invisibly
someone has worked a miracle in me

This time
I recognized an angel in my life
and I have kissed and held her
as I have been kissed and held by her

Dear world
as I in the certainty of my foundation
come to see the standards she has set
I know that you will assist me
in honouring the beauty of her

These days
how replete they are in life and experience
in blessings great and small
humble joys and gallant simplicity
when the night has fallen
and slumber’s silence is the rule

Now
let me softly sing my thanks
as my eyes open and dreams come
to weave the lessons my soul must learn
when tomorrow comes
prepare me to reach out my hand
toward all that might be

*grins* I remember my little Masters blowing raspberries on my tummy when I was pregnant with Assette!!! Many *hugs and kisses*

Woman of many hats..

Oh so beautiful – what a nice capturing of those oh so precious times. I love that 3 still fits in my lap – and often wants to be there. And 6 is still a big cuddler – but then I still cuddle my mom when I see her… don’t think my brother does though…

Kids are the best. They really and truly are. :o)

🙂 ryn at the other place: i made at least two non-alcoholic ones so of course i’d make you one too 🙂 *hugs*

I love when Gavynns wants to be all cuddly with me if he had it his way it would be sleeping in my bed every night hehe.

~Wings~

yes. the true meaning of life.

The Rickster

Two kinds of love; both precious, both enabling us to become what we will ultimately be. 🙂

~*~Beautiful capture of the precious moments~*~

I love having cuddle time with my grandkids. That time is more precious than any other in my mind. Hugs,

my silliness of the day pales in the light of your reflective words of poetry 😉 so effortlessly, you bring much wonder into my consciousness. always, your bumbling friend,

Stating the obvious here, cuddles are the best, and the little ones stay small for such a short time!

Thanks for capturing and sharing these tender and profoundly meaningful moments that make life worthwhile.

Singing Nun

Your first piece leaves me feeling vacant because I didn’t have those cuddle moments as a kid. But how lucky you are, and your little ones, to be able to share such loving moments. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Sweet dreams poet. An Angel! That’s a wow. I tend to think mothers are angels. Smiles & Hugs

“Poetry is emotionrecollected in tranquility.”~William WordsworthI thought of you today when I saw the above in the book I’m currently reading (Writing Alone and with Others, by Pat Schneider). 🙂

DragonKat

With a delighted smile…

Once again the beauty of your living shines through your poetry : ) Hugs

If you cuddle with as much savour and passion as you write I’d have to say that you must be a wonderful cuddler! Not everyone can claim such a talent. A lot of people shy away from beautiful things such as cuddling and sharing emotions that are not gutterally lustful. I know of a lot of things that the world needs. One of them is more true cuddlers. Imagine, problems solved with a hug! ^_^

Lucky Lady

And all is right with the world. Amen. I am absolutely a believer in angels.

ah…your first whitter made me think of times when i cuddled with katie in bed. i loved that so much, sleeping with my daughter when she was little. *sigh*
