An adorable photograph used to accompany the poem. No doubt a child's innocent smile can add much lightness and light to anything down or gloomy. Nice, pleasant write.

I really love this and I love the type of rhyme. I am not sure what it is called. This really shows that not matter how important facts and numbers, the heart wins out every time. Hope you are doing well. I am not on much but I always read your work.

This is already a winner in my book. Your loving spirit and pride come through the words you chose to use when writing about Sawyer. This is in addition to the perfect presentation you make with the picture poem pair. Many thanks for sharing. Bob

Maureen, thanks so much. Of course, his parents are no fools, so he's only allowed in the office when they are within grabbing distance. LOL :-) Brooke

Nope. Love and math , at least for me, will never ever go hand in hand. And when numbers fail and words do too, chalk it up to site maintenance lol.

ravenblack, thanks for the laugh and the review. Yeah, numbers give me a stomach ache, so I hope Sawyer takes to math so he can avoid that misery. :-) Brooke

Hi Brooke, my laptop isn't working very well. Typing with the iPhone, forgive me any typos. This is a very good entry as usual from you. The sparkle of love is well conveyed and contagious to the reader.
The best of luck.

I think that I can give this six stars because how it seems to flow and rhyme quite well. And as you stated in your own words how everything else may fail, and yet...love shines through. Dean
