Loved the Sawyer quatrain-photos. A deep and meaningful message in the lightness of your poem. And the sea shall reclaim the land - all the predictions in the Bible are coming to pass and yet, and yet, His love is clear as glass.
Loved your poem. :-]

I think I've only given 6 stars for a poem once but this definitely deserves it. Your poem is short and easy to understand, but your metaphors are superb. They really pull the reader in and are deep, making you think. Wonderfully done.

Brooke: this poem is soft and tender and beautiful. And, I laughed when I heard Sawyer's introduction to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. (My spelling) Now, that words is quite a mouth full for a two year old! Take care. Linda

Brooke, I enjoyed the simplicity of this writing in a way it made me not to questions of my desires and wishes in life but also realize what will there be if it goes missing things and I'm used to seeing. Because it is the simple things like one's smile that is enough to grant me all my wishes to come true. Your poem gives me such a feeling. Your writing is exceptional along with your tempo and metering A make your rhythm flow smoothly throughout your poem. While your rhyming is neither forced nor labored.
Thank you so much for sharing and posting this for everyone and may all your endeavors be good ones.
Alex

LOL! He's so cute, looking at his picture makes me chuckle. Such an expressive little face. Yeah, all of life takes on a special glow when there's a beloved little presence spreading joy in the background. Kids really brighten a life with their innocence and charm. Fun!

I'm sure you will! I love the exaggerated tragedies that you could endure just picturing Sawyer's smile. There's no way to put a price on that. :)
