That half smile looks like it is about to open up to a whole smile so watch out! Love the picture, Brooke :) Love the poem and always I wonder where you get your wonderful ideas for writing such engaging messages. I know your inspiration is Sawyer. We all benefit from your bright outlook on the world.

Another stunner, Brooke, but the site has limited my stars again.

I do love Sawyer's half smile... It's better than so many fake-but-full smiles I have seen lately.

Love your Sawyer series. It makes great reading to my own grand kids. Hugs, d

Excellent and delightful to read. I got a full smile out of this one. The rhythm and rhyme are great and the picture of Sawyer and his smiling face is a great choice for this poem.

Brooke, that picture has got to be one of the cutest pictures of your grandson that I've seen. He is absolutely adorable! I would give a day's salary to know the thoughts roaming around in his mind, though I don't know whether I'd want to be the recipient of whatever "little boy's" machination that's brewing - LOL.

AWWWWWWWW!!! If this isn't the cutest poem, with the cutest darn picture, I don't know what is!!! This is SO sweet - I just LOVE it! Look at that face as you read the verse - Brooke, you could melt an ice burg with this - absolutely adorable! Gosh, I am SUCH a fan of yours! This poem reminds me so much of my childhood! I don't remember when or how, I just remember hearing poems lie this one and loving them. I'll bet Sawyer is going to have many, many precious memories of such things!

Hi Brooke,

Easy to see why you like the expression, it is full of fun and a touch of mischief. Nicely expressed in the poem.

If you haven't thought of it, you should totally put together a book of children's poems. You clearly have a knack for that kind of sing-song writing (helped along by the wonderful meter you employ).

Very nicely written. I enjoyed this. :)
