lovely, as always. Your poems always delight and are so smooth and easy. (easy meaning one does not have to struggle to find a way through, not that it is simply done). Thanks for a great write!

As someone with a five-year-old son, I can relate. There are no words to describe the love for a child. The words of your poem fit the picture perfectly. Nice flow with deep meaning. Enjoyed.

Dear Brooke, This is a lovely poem that says "you win my heart and my love for you is immeasurable" :) I like the rhythm of this. It's as though there's a silent 4th line in each stanza which is like a musical rest where the beats are still counted. I especially liked

"for feelings never hesitate,
and there's no need to calculate
a love that cannot be denied".

Best wishes in the contest!

God bless, Christine

Oh this is absolutely wonderful. What a cute rhyming scheme to enhance what you are trying to say. It is cute and the picture is perfect.

the power of your winsome smile. (Never have truer words been spoken. I am a sucker for those adorable little grins. I give into them often. Loved your awesome poem.)

Well, if that could have been written better, I don't have any clue who would have...or could have. It is so positive, clean and crisp, and thought-provoking. Wonderful poem.

I love this as always girl. So true. Why even calculate when it can't possibly be done. Wait a minute. For the dirt bag mom of my step child - maybe I can - 0.

I like the use of the extended metaphor of the calculator. Numbers, sum, calculate, all work to create the sense of the immeasurable.

The poet is obviously madly in love and has done a wonderful job expressing it in this great poem. And I do not for one minute believe real work gets done is such a neat office. :D Nancy
