Awwwwwwwwwwwww!
This is exactly how I feel when the twins throw a grin my way.
There is something so brilliant about a child's smile.
They hold nothing back.
Bravo!!!

I thought I saw a sunbeam
Glinting off the stream.
Saw a young lad going by
Had an umbrella to keep him dry
Heard him laugh
As a raindrop struck his eye.
I really enjoyed your verse, so well written...

Hi Brooke, another beautifully written poem, I don't know how you find the time, great rhyming and rhythm with a magical flow, I sincerely hope Sawyer enjoys his first day at school, it's a big day for him and his mum and dad.

Comment from Sarah Butterfly
Enjoyable and fluently written poem Brooke. I especially like the ending: the sun that's beaming from your eyes each time you smile at me. Very lovely!
Kind regards
Sarah

Comment from Just2Write
Such a simple, yet endearing story about how our sun sends us sunbeams and warmth. It's also a teaching poem for children that tells them where the sun is, and what it means to us. Nice turn at the last two lines. It just exudes love in the most innocent way.

Dear Brooke,
I enjoyed this poem so much. I really liked the transition of perspective of the cosmological of distance and light to the sunbeam coming from a child's eyes. Just lovely as always--Ted

Ah, this is a beautiful poem that the author has created with this piece of work. This is very sentimental and I love it. Well done.

Comment from Adri7enne
Can he get any cuter! God! They must have a hard time not picking him up and hugging the Dickens out of him every time he smiles like that! LOL! I have the same problem with my little Vicky (Shitzu). Sometimes she looks at me with the hair all askew on her head and that little overbite. I have to restrain myself. She hates it when I pick her up and give her a rash of kisses along her snout. I'm sure if she could she'd say, "Cut the crap, Ma!" LOL!
Sawyer is adorable. Now the poem. Well, of course. A sunbeam - a direct message from the source. I'm enjoying your pleasure in Sawyer. Must be kindergarden he's starting, uh? 4hour sessions seem long. Kids today are so much smarter, I think. Good fun, Brooke!

Thanks so much, Adrienne - nope, he's only just turned 28 months, so kindergarten is a few years away :-) It's only three 4 hour sessions a week in a class where he's the only one who's potty trained. LOL I think he'll be studying how to ride a tricycle and how to share. :-) Brooke

Of course. He just turned two. Still, he's starting to look so grown up. He's the only one who's potty trained. I knew he was a smart kid! LOL! They do grow up too fast.
Comment from LateBloomer
Ohhhhh, Brooke, adewpearl, your poem is so sweet and endearing, and its message is one of love and adoration. I especially liked:
I doubt that it was hiding,
for it was in plain sight --
it's hard to hide a sunbeam,
for they are just too bright.
(Just like the sunshine that fills a room were certain people enter -- very good.)
And:
It's really not a secret,
for it's too clear to see --
the sun that's beaming from your eyes
each time you smile at me.
(I'm sure that Sawyer's smile melts the hearts of everyone he sees, indeed.)
Beautifully stated with silky rhyming. This poem made me smile ... that sunbeam must have bounced my way. Ahhhhh. LateBloomer
