This morning my son
Crawled into my bed
Wanting to snuggle
Before we started our day.
"Put down your book, Mom,
so we can snuggle."
"I can read and we can snuggle, too."
I replied.
I finished the last few pages of my book.
I put it down and turned off the light
And I snuggled in.
He was right.
A true snuggle requires my full presence.
As I let go of all distractions
And relaxed into this precious moment,
I became aware of the
delicious warmth of the child
curled up next to me,
The smell of his hair,
The sound of his breath
The deep sense of peace,
comfort and joy
Of being snuggled
Together.
