What Does a Diggle Do?
|
 |
To Sara, who at the tender age of two, lovingly named her blanket, “Diggle”.
Diggles do lots of things.
They make you laugh,they help you sing.
A Diggle will love you both inside and out
Will be at your side if you smile or pout.
They wipe your tears when you are sad
They get time-outs if they are bad.
Diggles will go anywhere
They’ll stay with you here; they’ll wait for you there.
Some Diggles are dirty and some Diggles are clean
And they love to take baths in the washing machine.
A Diggle pretends to be a coat or a hat;
A pillow to sleep or a picnic mat.
A Diggle can make you feel big and strong
Or can cuddle you tightly all night long.
A Diggle will help you from feeling afraid.
They cushion a fall from the steps that you’ve made.
A Diggle will be your best friend and your buddy.
Won’t mind spilled milk or getting really muddy.
A Diggle so cozy will cuddle all snug
And will never run out of a kiss or a hug.
A Diggle will do lots of things,
But the best one of all is the love that it brings.
