A nice little write, and the little boy delivers the compliment yet again.
A smile is always a joy to include in any poetry, and what better choice than that depicted.
A lovely write.
Best wishes,
RGstar

What a beautiful love you show for his smile. I got that if the whole world falls apart you will still have beauty in your life as long as you have his smile.
Great rhythm by the way

Hello Brooke,
It's always fun to share those things we love with the next generation. I appreciate the theme in this poem. No matter what tragedies transpire, there are some things that can not be taken... those that dwell within the heart. Beautiful thought and delivery, best wishes, Bill

The tick-tock regularity of the meter here counts down to the inevitable ending - a declaration of a love greater than any fate the universe can throw at us.
Reminiscent of some end of the world love story - On the beach perhaps...

Comment from ArtGal
Oh Brooke, think about this. BTW, we had drought for only one summer some years back, and it was awful for us, but those poor farmers really paid a price for it! I love the word that made Sawyer laugh, lol! I never thought of this, but what if there wasn't a sea, no sun, and no roses? Oh, but that smile will always be there. How wonderful, and I enjoyed this very much. . .Sharon

Brooke, this has a lilting meter with a solid b-b and so forth rhyme. Some assonance, too. The message is pithy and brought in an uncomplicated way. Well done. :0 GracieAnn
