This could easily be any sort of love. Between two grown lover, between parent and child or ;) between grandparent and grandchild. The sentiment is touching and beautiful.

    Mel, thank you so much -yes, I intended it to be read as any sort of love. Some think when I post a picture of Sawyer it has to be ABOUT him, instead of inspired BY him :-) Brooke

Giving the bestest presents is part of the fun of loving someone. And children's love is perfect. So is your sweet poem, Brooke. You've captured the open-hearted generosity of childhood. :) nancy

Dear Brooke,
A Nanna's love shouts out loud in every line. If only we could all find such skills as you proclaim. Lovely poem.

This is a very excellent poem & unfortunately, I just used up my last 6-stars" & it's only Wednesday. But there have been so many superb pieces on the website this week! *smile* I'm not "into" counting rhythms, but this combination really does add a great beat to your words. I'm typically not wild about extreme professions of love, but in this case, it's playful & clever enough (especially knowing it's written for a child) to be forgiven for the display of unabashed slobbering. Great job! I love the imagery united by a theme of nature.

That was good. It reads of a simple love that requires only most basic of things, a little smile to show appreciation. I like this form also, it speaks to the talent it take to maintain it. Good work

I'll give a hundred smiles to get these things done for me! :) Fetch a pail of stars, make the sunset last, hasten into spring, capture the sun's rays... great imagination here. I like the way you repeat the last line of every stanza in the first of the next one. Is there a name to this form? Sawyer looks so cute trying to conquer that rock with his little feet and hands! :)
