Toddler's Cuddle

I thank You for the grin
that is more gums than teeth.
A chubby hand in mine
that often leaves something sticky behind.
A chortle that lowers blood pressure
and raises bliss.
The roundest bare belly
playing peek-a-boo.
Those nubby little toes
in perfect chubby rows.
For the intense, gooey sweetness
in the snuggle of a toddlers cuddle.
