Guess it gives out a good message those wee guys, nothing comes easy in life, step by step without outside intervention and you will make it to the top. We call kids who climb like this mountain goats in England, they seem to go places that are out of reach of others! That guy is definitely enjoying that climb. Good use of rhyme, enjoyable read. Faye

Thank God for his wonderful parents who take him places to stimulate his mind,

And so the kids learn about life through seeming child's play. LOL Love this little poem. We used to have all kinds of climbing things on the playground. Seems they're downsizing on those nowadays. Great read - thanks for sharing!

Great point, Brooke. A brilliant angle on a simple picture. And a good lesson to teach kids. One rung at a time: slow and steady wins the race.

OK, I'm laughing here. This sounds familiar to me; I believe it was embedded in my brain eons ago. Good rhyming, perfect timing, and O that language. Kenny

Hi Brooke,
The image of Superman in world culture is very interesting. There was even a Soviet Superman. The creators of the Superman character were two Jewish teenagers from Ohio that began with a parallel to Moses, the mother who sets her infant adrift in the cloth of their people to protect him. I think that might be the source of Superman's popularity; he makes it easy, he didn't earn his powers, he was"endowed" with them. I could say more...Yet, you have taught us the real path to achievment is one rung at a time. Great job--Ted

Superman ain't swoopin' in
to help you on your climb --
The only ticket to the top
comes one rung at a time.
Hi Brooke, yes our famous Sawyer is back as superman. Your verse made me smile. Such a beautiful one to write, and show us how we have to struggle in life to reach any top. Have a great day. Love to you and Sawyer. Terry xoxo

Hi Brooke - what can I say except clever, wise words in four lines - can't get better than that. Nice alliteration in 'Superman/swoopin' - 'ticket/top. Seems like some little chap does not need Superman - he's going to get to the top LOL. Warm regards Dorothy x

Hi Brooke
I was holding Alyssa just the other day at McDonalds, and I gave her the tour of their plastic maze. She was so inquisitive, and wanted to get right in there. Alas, she isn't old enough yet at nine months. But she was game!
I love the message in your poem. If you're going to reach for the top, you're on your own. Life is no free ride.
Excellent message to us all.
hugs

Straightforward and cute. The picture and words are such a match. There is nothing to suggest changing. I like how you write your poem and include the image in a concise space. You usually never have a huge picture and very few words. Thanks for sharing
