Excellent

You never know, and never will
if you should close your eyes
to all the possibilities
that dwell in sweet surprise.
There is so much truth to the words in this verse.
Another one of you special poems.
Good rhythm and rhyme
an enjoyable read and complimentary picture

Hi Brooke,

This is incredibly sweet and much needed on a day like this! And Sawyer gets cuter in every picture! He's such a happy little boy.
"You never know, and never will

That is my favorite part of your poem! Very nice

Dear Brooke,
This contained a wonderful feeling of overcoming life's problems with great optimism. My favorite stanza was the one with "fallen rocks", which was a very unique image. Great job--Ted

A great outlook in life Brooke. There is always something waiting around the corner. It is a shame that so many look on the down-side instead of the Brightside of life.

They need to read this great poem, and, most importantly, take it to heart.

Thanks for sharing and reminding me.

Much better of the little guy. Yes, he is full of surprise and one never knows about things. They do happen. Another good one Brooke. Sawyer, she did it again.

Love that picture. What will you write about when he grows up and won't let mom take his picture. I like this poem about life's surprises. What you say is true. You never know! ....
Hugs. Nancy

Excellent take on the 'every cloud has a silver lining' saying, Brooke, and far more fun and detailed. :-)

Wonderful examples of how what we first see as disaster turns out to be a positive.

Top rhymes and meter, and powerful repeated words.

Cheers, Ray xx
