I Am a Snuggly Heater

I am something I like to call a Snuggly Heater.
And the reason I think I am one
Is because sometimes at night I snuggle with my mom
And when we wake up in the morning
She says that I heated her up all night.
And that's why I say
I am a Snuggly Heater.

(Editorial commentary: Well, it's getting cold out, isn't it? The above should warm you up a little. It's a sweet poem that tells it like it is. What a pleasant metaphor, and it communicates a simple joy. And, if we want our children to warm up our lives forever, we need to keep the lines of communication wide open, especially in their teen years. I am sure Mom and Ella will.)
