Squeeze Please

"Squeeze Please" presents as a cute word rhyme,

But its grip and depth

Is unique and sublime.

Part hug, some cuddle, but

More like a tickle...

It's fickle!!

Yet,

I sense familial love songs

When

My limbs contract to stop his wiggles-

And then,

Before he starts his giggles...

My knees squeeze...

That’s when I heard,

Without one word...

 

Squeeze because you love me;

Squeeze because I love you;

Squeeze because I feel protected;

Squeezing keeps we two connected.

Squeeze Please makes me feel secure.

 

Please squeeze... please... squeeze please me more.

 

Squeeze me to my happy place.

Squeezing tells me that I’m safe.

A squeeze will make me feel content

Your squeezes tend to give me strength.

Then Squeeze tight for respite and peace,

Like a weighted blanket as I sleep.

Squeeze me like a pet boa,

Squeeze because you're my own Granda.

 

I hear and listen when he says Squeeze Please;

That cute word rhyme really speaks to me.

 

(Now loosen and Squeeze Please some more.........................)

Ciaran is on the spectrum, and to hear him say Squeeze please is such a treat.
