Very deep poem disguised in innocence.
Anyone can learn from this poem of yours.
It's rich in truth while it entertains.
Terrific!

A lovely photo once more. I think it is so true what you wrote: the firs step might not be remembered but is the start of something bigger.

Comment from Adri7enne
Your daughter must really love this collaborative work of Sawyer's life. He's one lucky little fellow. He won't have to wonder what his childhood was like.
Wonderful idea to compare life to a journey that leaves marks along the way. Lovely images, Brooke.

Comment from Eternal Muse
Oh, that was beautiful, Brooke, and I love to see Sawyer walking that sand (California, isn't it?).
How true, these:
but if there were no rain drops,
the seas would turn to sand,
and if there were no footsteps,
no distance could be spanned.
This was simply gorgeous. And thank you Sawyer, for modeling for us again. We love you!

Yelena, thank you. Yes, it is the L.A. area as they live in Encino. Miranda prefers the kind of beaches that aren't filled with other stuff like souvenir shops and boardwalk attractions, so this is a good place that is just beach and nothing more, Topanga Beach near Malibu. Brooke :-)

Sigh... I've been to so many coastal areas in CA - Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach... Beautiful. Though a bit wavy.

Hi Brooke,
This is another very beautiful poem with little Sawyer in it. You are a great poet and a wonderful grandma to always feature your sweet grandson with your poetry.

Comment from Kenneth Schaal
That's why I pick up the pennies. I totaled all my roofing squares and submitted. the super wanted to know what the 2 and 1/4 extras were for. I told him, starters. He didn't pay for starters--until that day. Nice winsome quatrains, an easy read. Kenny

Comment from mfowler
This is another of your pithy, entertaining poems with a simple, but important message in life. You've placed the notion of 'the importance of the first step' front and centre. Nothing will be achieved without the action to aspiration. Very written and supported by lovely imagery eg but if there were no rain drops,
the seas would turn to sand
