Sam Kauffman Poet Rhyme

Playdays Nursery Rhyme

Playdays Nursery Rhyme

Your rainy play day comes to an end
Running and jumping in puddles with friends
Creating rain paintings – making mud pies
Wearing warm rain coats – boots with googly eyes.

Time for a “tubbie” to wash off the mud
Duckies and bubbles – rub-a-dub-dub
Wrap up in a towel so fluffy and warm
Now jump into bed - cozy, safe from the storm.

Stories then prayers as you close your eyes
Dream of the days when snow fills up the skies – Night!  Night!

Marikate Kingston November 13, 2021 at 7:19 PM This made me smile. As a mommy of three children, now college students, your poem brought me back to those cuddly, snuggly days. Time for a "tubbie" to wash off the mud. and the sentence that follows are my favorite lines. Such a cute poem. Sam Kauffman November 19, 2021 at 9:15 AM Marikate, thank you!!! When the boys were little guys rainy day fun and the bedtime routine was a treasured time of snuggles and giggles. It was so fun to bring those special moments of sweet closeness back to mind not only for me but for all who enjoyed this memory! Sending you all of the blessings of the season!

Many thanks and much gratitude! What a delight to know this nursery rhyme brought back special memories of your daughter and you on a rainy day!

Jan Allison October 12, 2021 at 12:53 PM aww this is so sweet Sam:-) hugs Jan xx Sam Kauffman October 12, 2021 at 1:15 PM Thank you so much Jan. I love stomping through puddles in boots on rainy days then warming up in a warm bath. One of our grandchildren had giraffe boots with googly eyes. Bath time and bedtime were always such moments of sweetness when raising our children. Watching them fall asleep was always such a precious time of cozy warmth in a protective cocoon. Hugs! :D
