Such an excellent photo to accompany the poem. Stay open to the approach of love and there will always be an opportunity to step out of the darkness.

Comment from Patti R.
Oh my goodness - and isn't she a beauty! Brunette! At his age love can strike fast and hard. One of my boys fell in love with one of his older sister's classmates at a Hallowe'en party. She was painted green and wore a synthetic staticky wig of orange ... sigh, I hope his tastes change.
But not Sawyer! He's got his eye on the Belle!
Your rhyme and the easy flowing meter are perfect.

Comment from Aussie
Have a bo-peep at the look on Chloe's face - "It's only me, can't you see? I wuv you endlessly." Without love, we are nothing. I thought you wrote this so well. Telling the reader that they should not waste an opportunity when love arrives at the front door - there isn't enough love in the world today. Well done Mrs Pearl.

Kay, thank you so much :-) I have such a great collection of photos of that sweetie of a girl kissing Sawyer, nuzzling up close to Sawyer, holding Sawyer's hand, gazing at Sawyer LOL And while he is not nearly as demonstrative as she is, it says a lot that he lets her do all those things and on occasion, even gives her a little kiss on the cheek LOL :-) Brooke
Comment from fastdigits
A wistful poem in rhyming quatrains
which carries the message, don't
let love pass you by, for it is far
better to have loved and perhaps
lost than never to have loved at
all.
I guess that's the romantic in me
that makes your enchanting words
something special.
Well done

Your verse warns of loss if inattentive.
Everything flows from start to finish.
This is especially true:
in love's possibility
lies hope for each tomorrow,
where heedless inattention
can only lead to sorrow

Comment from Ridley Williams
Hi Brooke,
I enjoyed this reflective piece about the possibilities of love. I also appreciated the idea that love is there for the asking...we simply need pose the question. I thought you did an excellent job with the concept and delivery of this piece, and, as always, I loved the solid meter and rhyme.
Best wishes, Bill

Comment from Cumbrianlass
OMG, look at that photo. It's beyond adorable. But you wrote a poem, and that's why I'm here. LOL!
I like the message in this one, Brooke. Some people are good at pushing others away. My dad was a bit miserable that way, and in the end, he was the one who suffered, I think.
An enjoyable and thought provoking read.

Comment from Victoria K
Such a sweet, engaging poem with a lovely message.
The photo is a perfect visual representation of line 1:
"If love should saunter up my walk,"
Nicely done.
