I can't help giving you six stars because your poetry is so well written and reads so very well. The picture of Sawyer is priceless.

Excellent

Simple truths are the very best kinds of truth. They are not hard to figure out, they are for the most part, very evident and speak directly to a person's understanding.. This lovely poem speaks to all of those things. The message is entertaining and sneakily enlightning at the same time.

This is just what I needed to read! Great message to all new writers - it's good to be reminded that everyone/everything starts small and often grows into something special. Lovely words and imagery. Tony

A step is not a journey,
but still it is required.
No dream is ever realized
until it is aspired.
Just this verse is poem enough for me!
The rhyme in the 1st and 3rd verses works better than the 2nd

I like the flow of this one, Brooke, especially in reference to the beach which is where I want to be soon. Looks like Sawyer has already beat me there. Nice abcb rhyme scheme and a journey of a thousand miles does begin with one step. 8-)

Foot prints in the sand fade like the days of innocence.
We should hold fast the days before there past and may the memories we hold of them forever last. Great work. Mike

Lovely, lovely. And, so true. A little philosophy for this afternoon. And, Sawyer looks great so matter what he is doing. Linda

I love the message in your poem Brooke and the last stanza sums it up nicely - we have to have the rain and we have to walk the walk to have any gain in life.

Hello there~
This poem is so wonderful. Makes you feel inspired and encouraged. Comparing that one little step to a single rain-drop that builds the sea.. Fabulous. I loved it. Thanks for sharing~
