thanks so much, Linda - yep, every Friday afternoon he plays with Nora, and it's a long ride home, so he's very tired. As for sleeping well, he does about 99% of the time - his mother is so good at establishing his sleep routine. Even if he wakes up 15 minutes before it is official time to go get him up, he just sits in his crib and talks to himself :-) Brooke
Comment from Glasstruth
Very upbeat. Reminds me of James Taylor's 'You' e Got A Friend' Has the same message. Good alliteration. Like the part about:If flowers wilt instead of bloom, 'I'll help them mend, and should your songs slip out of tune, I'll make them end' Now time to find that old 45. Thanks forc sharing. Les

Comment from DALLAS01
Looks pretty tired to me. Love the poem, the words reflect that also of a grandma. My favorite lines are:
If trees reach out to snatch your kite
before it has a chance at flight,
I'll find another one to send,
for I'm your friend.
Great personification, easy to see that tree reaching out and snatching it right up.

Young Sawyer looks like he is ready for a bedtime story. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. Good job.

Brooke, what a lovely thought. Of course, we don't want
anything to make our children or grandchildren sad. We
wish we could spare them that. This makes me think of
the song on the movie "Toy Story". You've got a friend
in me.... Great job as always.

Comment from humpwhistle
Brooke, it's impossible for me to think of better
way to verbally relate a sense of committment to a child.
The things he holds dear, the things that keep him from being afraid, the reassurance that he'll never be alone.
Friend is a concept that doesn't need to be taught. It's innate.
Peace, Lee

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Brooke,
That is one of the sweetest pictures of Sawyer I've seen in a while. Makes me want to cup his face in my hands and then hug, hug, hug.
Once again you weave little bits of nature into a poem that has great appeal for children. There's no way they would not understand the message of love.
Hugs,
Lou

Comment from RodG
You have written another fine poem here, Brooke, for children about the value of friendship and where they can seek solace when their little worlds fall apart. I like all the things this "friend" says she will do for him.
The refrain works very well to emphasize WHO is the child's friend.
