There is nothing more special than that first grandchild. From one grandma to another ... love your picture of little Cayden! He looks so peaceful and relaxed. I sometimes used to wonder (when my own were little) what they dream of. To that end, I like the premise for your write, Mary Wakeford. Yes, I'm sure they dream of the animals that they see and pet, and of the family/people who love them. I like your ending, "We've got you covered, this love of ours" ... sweet!

Thank you so much bichonfrisegirl. I was so enamored with my own babies years ago, but these grands are simply amazing. I loved your review, thank you very much.
Comment from Narvik
This was simply charming, Mary. I've always wondered what babies dream about too. It would be amazing if we could actually see their dreams. I like how yo set up the first part of the poem with questions, then sort of answered them all in the end, with a strong emphasis on family. Overall, a very enjoyable poem.

Thank you so much, Captain Jack. This forum is new to me and Cayden's Dream is my first submission. I very much appreciate the feedback. Thank you for your in depth reflections. They will help me to become a good reviewer as well once I get comfortable in this realm. Have a great day!

Comment from Joyce Long
Wonderful tribute to your son. Children are a precious gift of God. Enjoy each minute that you have with him. Your picture and dream poem are really cute. Thanks for sharing. It sounds like your son has a complete family to enjoy him. Families are important.
Very well done.

Thank you so much, Joyce. Cayden is actually my grandson, our first grandchild, and I am blessed to be his daycare provider. My mother cared for our four children until they reached school age, and I am forever grateful to her and am fortunate I am able to pay it forward. Thank you for your review.

What an adorable poem paired with a charmingly sweet picture. I used to wonder what my own babies were dreaming of too. Very nice.

That is the cutest little boy with the best name. I hadn't heard that. I'm a granny now but where was that name when I had kids. If I were you I would take the picture and poem, make it into a plaque, and give it to that special one. Marvelous...

Thank you so much! I just received a review from someone indicating they could not see the words, only the picture. I am new to this. This is actually my first ever contest entry and I'm old! Any idea how to remedy this problem for the other reviewer?
-
You could go to edit and make the color of the font darker. I read it just fine and I'm blind as a bat, serious. That was the sweetest baby and poem. Really. If that doesn't help hit the contact button. Hey we are all old getting younger dear...
-
That is a great idea on the plaque! Thank you for your input on the poem.
-
I did that, and notified the first reviewer the change was made...now waiting. Very new to this concept, but your review has me hooked!!
-
It was amazing. So sweet. If you plaque he'll never forget it or the date you gave it to him. It will hang on walls for years to come. Great name and he is just down right adorable. Granny here wants to hold him... He is so precious.. I'm not a butt kisser either. I got upset because somebody said I was odd and my sweet neighbor's said well you are. Then they said because I m truly sincere, nice, honest, and when it's time to get mad, well I'm pretty real there too. Xo...

You are so talented....
-
Thank you so much! You are helping me to believe what I've been told for years but afraid to act on...

Mary I have just told the truth dear and it's nice to meet you. I'm Angie😀

Good Night. You are way way an authoress. Talk to ya soon.. Xo

Mary, such a cute picture to attached to your write ... if only I could see it. You may want to check your post as all I'm seeing is a black page. Perhaps change font colour or background colour. Sorry about the stars. Let me know when you have changed it and I will restar you. Good luck.
There is some rhyme but the rhythm is somewhat off and I feel your last line needs a bit of work with the overuse of the word 'ours'.

Thank you, this is my first attempt at a community writing, and my first contest submission. Please clarify the 2 colour background requirement...can I simply submit in black on white background, or must it reflect a background color?
-
It has been updated correctly, I believe, and awaits your review. Thanks again
-
Mary, Two colours meaning one for background and one for font. Obviously black on black is not going to work as your words will not show. To be on the safe side use the black font on white background. That way it is all clear until you get the hang of things. You can always check your work after you have posted it. Good luck. Any more question feel free to ask. ~ DD :-)

Thank you so much!
-
It is strange, because I selected a light blue background with the black lettering initially. It viewed as such in my profile so I don't know where it went wrong.
-
Pleasure :-)
-
Thank you for the input. Corrections have been made if you would consider your rating of Cayden's Dreams. Thank you. Mary
-
Thank you for your return to review. I very much appreciate your input and will consider it for future prose. Have a great evening.
