The possiblities are endless. The joy of life is a dish served daily, in infinite and wonderful permutations.
Your poem is rollicking, lyrical, and fun to read.

Well done.

I enjoyed reading this poem Brooke, very true There is always hope, so we must remain open to change and not stay stuck.

You never know, and never will
if you should close your eyes
to all the possibilities
that dwell in sweet surprise.

Well written
Mary

You never know... I like the repetition of these words in each stanza. It emphasizes the possibilities of life but we have to be open to new surprizes
in life. 8-)

What lovely, uplifting words. Time and again, life has taught me that, although whatever it is that's around the next corner might be be out of sight, if I look for it with a smile and a happy heart, the surprise will be much sweeter when I find it. More times than not, this has been the case.
The photo is adorable. Hoping this little one is part of your family. Thank you for sharing your joyous spirit with us, my dear. You made my day.

This is great advice to those growing up in this world. With eyes buried in blueberries and ears drowned with deafening sound, many will miss the message.

This has nice rhyme and rhythm.

A poem of hope at a time when I could use some. Thank you. And thank you for using a rhyming scheme instead of free verse. You deserve your Number One rank at Fanstory. Please keep writing. And you are quite right, we will never know when something really good has happened to us, to judge that takes the perspective of time. Thank you again.

Brooke,
This one is wonderful. I smiggled all the way through it. The picture is awesome too. I remember when Tira was small enough to sit in the bag. Hope you're having a great summer.
Love,
Barbara
