    They really are...i liked the poem...but the photo just was beyond words...it is true love...

    they are in the same pre-school class where they take turns rescuing each other - if she is having a bad day and crying after her mom drops her off, Sawyer consoles her and gets her to cheer up and play with him. If he is having a bad day and crying when he misses his mommy, she reassures and hugs him :-)

Yes, it really is all for show. How we prance and flex. We show off all our muscles as we wonder who is next. Truth is it is all a game, a game will never win. Happily we play along, that is what it means to be men. LOL. Great work Brooke

A cute poem with a super little image!
I found this puzzling:
who'd duke it out to win the right
Perhaps:
who'd duel out to win the right
I understand DUEL to mean: fight.
But DUKE...? I've not heard of it used in this manner before.

    Curly Girly, perhaps it is just an American expression - duke it out means to have a fist fight - put up your dukes is another expression, meaning raise your fists and get ready to fight :-) Thanks so much :-) Brooke

How I wish our lives were fairytales, and populated with women like you. I love the way you speak of female wisdom and their subtle use of it. The picture of the little ones is precious beyond compare, too.

This is yet another interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of work. Sawyer and Cloe look like they are having fun and innocence like this should last forever.

Awesome picture. Rapunzel, maybe not, but still is quite clever. Entertaining with an honest twist in these verses:

"And when I found this suitor,
my rescue I'd allow -
I'd let him play the hero
and make to me his vow,

for men must all feel useful
though we, the women, know,
our power is within us -
the rescue's just for show."

It shows that things aren't what they seem. Men want to be the hero, but with a liuttle help, LOL. All ends well. Superb!!!! Les

Great poem that reveals what really goes through a female mind. Not sure I want to know much more. LOL. Very well written, as always.

Truer words haven't been spoken in a good while like yours... we do need to keep that secret to ourselves - but always let them feel important - they have to be heroes - so let them be...to us! AT=/
