Of all the expensive things
Smiling is very cheap
when you give it away,
You get one back to keep.
Miranda and Sawyer's smile emanates from their heart... I can't help but smile too.. c", Mae

Once again, Brooke, you home in on a child's tragedies and frustrations to make your point that we determine our attitude, not external forces. I love the rhymes in the middle of the first lines of each stanza. Playful. :) nancy

Comment from Eric1
Hi Brooke, what a wonderful and heartwarming quatrain poem, it , as usual is faultless in it's presentation, and the flow is just so beautiful, the line about stones going 'plop' as you are trying to skim them is inspirational.

Comment from kiwisteveh
Isn't it funny how you can make a poem whiz by twice as fast just by using internal rhyme? This one simply flies along with its humorous list of things that can go wrong with your day - peas on the plate brought a chuckle - my father was always averse to those.
Lots of fun.

Comment from Shirley B
Dear Brooke, Thank goodness 2 year olds are so easily entertained. To them everything is funny. I wish life could stay that way for all of us. Great poem. Thank you for sharing. Sawyer is so cute, Shirley

Comment from flamingstar
Fantastic. I love the "cakes fall flat/treats go splat" line. Great fun to read aloud - are you published? If emerging readers were exposed to more material like this, I think their interest and attention would be sustained longer - particularly in special ed. I wonder - in the interest of symmetry - if you could use the hyphen after "abound" instead of a comma since you used one after "around" in the beginning?

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
This is really really delightful, Brooke and just goes to show how you can pass the time and be happy. I feel it is great for kids to teach them how not to be pouting and unhappy with boardroom, but to do something to amuse themselves, well done, Giddy
