Oh, yes, the little things. The ones we take for granted. Those little smiles. Sand between our toes. And the simple little kisses on our foreheads or tips of your nose. Thanks for sharing.

    Awe, I love those sentiments and that rhyme. Should have put that in my poem ;-)

What a beautiful poem. I enjoyed reading it. The picture is priceless. Goes well with your words. The picture reminds me of my grandkids when they were little. I like your rhyming pattern. Great job.

Glenda this flows so smoothly and with great innocence. I guess the involvement of kids bring that. Your flow and rhyme bring a sweetness to this poem. A truly uplifting write only a mother could pen.

    Awe, thank you for such a sweet review. I enjoyed writing this, it was a very easy write--sometimes you just wake up and the words are there. Maybe more a God thing than a mom thing :-).
    Bless you for making my evening.

    Thank you for your review. I'm sorry the don't was burdensome to you. It reminded me of my grandmother's handwriting, and I thought of her when writing this poem.

I enjoyed your poem very much. I could identify with every single item that you presented, but most of all, "Time spent with my siblings"- who are no longer here, and "my children at play" - who now watch their own grandchildren at play! ; )

    Oh, thank you so much. I am so glad you enjoyed it. I thought quite a bit about my childhood playtime with my brother, my 3 daughter's and now my granddaughter. A lot of joy and innocence to celebrate in those memories.

What a delightful poem and so very true. As I get older I greatly appreciate the little things that include the people I love. Belongings take on less meaning as my age increases. Thank you for sharing.

Hello again Glenda,
Went into your portfolio to see if there was anything else new I could read ( sometime portfolios are the best way to find works of other writers) and I came across this one of yours.
Loved it!! The image, font and pink background were all perfect for your poem!

I agree with you about the little things. I believe it's the little things that mean the most. As we grow older, it's the little things we remember most. Especially our children when they were young. We never thought they would grow up at the time, and then as if no time has passed, they've grown and made lives of their own.

Glenda, this is one of the most heart-warming List Poems I had the honor
of reviewing on fanstory or anywhere else. These three look Hollywood
bound in their too kool sunshades:) I am a Girls Dad, but envious of you,
because I only have two darlings:) This reads like it's written from the heart and in cursive...How old school and a Lost Art, and so charming.
Where's that contest for something like this:) teafor2

    Oh my goodness, this is the loveliest review I have received. I am so appreciative of this. Getting to be a mother of three girls has truly been my biggest blessing. Now I have one granddaughter-oh what joy this is. Imagine if I ever have a little boy to spoil ;-). This was what I woke with on my heart this morning. Thank you so much for the kind review. Enjoy your darlings and God bless.
