Again adewpearl, you have created a very special poem. How instinctive you are to take an very ordinary but meaningful attitude and elevate it to extraordinary.
What a beautiful smile on Sawyer, and what a beautiful poem. Your rhyme scheme is flawless and very well crafted.

That half smile could charm the pants off a telephone pole...not sure where that came from but I am sure it could do it. What a delightful poem and a marvelous photo go go with hit. Sawyer does have some awesome expressions,but I have to agree, his half smile is one of the best.

Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good alliteration with had/half...had/he...world/would...smile/see. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

A beautiful written poem about a smile that could be and as it is well defined by the picture which complements the poem and the poem is definitely complements the picture.
Boy, Sawyer looked so cute in that picture and I can't tell if it's a devilishly cute smile are just a whimsical one. Thank you so much Brooke for sharing this with everyone including myself. May you have a good one and God bless.

Sawyer's eyes are beautiful in half-smile mode. He's such a cheery fellow.(Oh, I know that he has his moments.)
These rhyming quatrains flow smoothly with good use of enjambment and an even tempo.

    Ellen, thank you so much. He is very cheery - today's video has him giggling wildly as he feeds his cat with a spoonful of his yogurt while all the time his nose is gushing snot. LOL The poor thing has his first cold but that isn't getting him down :-) Brooke

Though deemed to be commentary / philosophical, written eloquently and in a heartfelt way, it affords an enjoyable read.
Quatrains in 8/6/8/6 with abab rhymes boast an easy flow of words and a good use of alliteration throughout
