This is absolutely a beautiful write. I could see the little girl as she did the things you wrote about and could remember a time when I did those things. You are right about adults, it seems we no longer take the time to enjoy nature and all God's work and creatures which makes me sad. Thank you for this wonderful poem.

Waw this is touching. Everytime i went to get my little one at school, i'm greeted with a flower or a leaf. I've kept it until it fades away. Your poem is touching it reminds me of my child and also to enjoy the beauty around me. Everything do exist for a purpose. Keep on writing. I enjoyed your wonderful poems, kel.

Crystal what a beautifull description of innocence that has been lost to many an adult it often strikes me as immensely sad when i see the small but very important pleasures that are lost to us, well done on an excellent poem not only in form but in content as well

Crystal very beatifull, i pictured my daughter there all inocent or my son looking at birds

Crystal, really nice well written poem, made me think back to many years ago, yip every word a true one.

I love this..

..I remember pushing my son around in his pushchair. I would deliberately slow down so he could touch, feel, smell, see up close and taste..well as long as it was safe to do so!!

This is a wonderfully written piece, reminding us all about how beautiful this world is and how we take it all for granted. Why, just because it isn't new to us, doesn't mean that it has lost its beauty, right?

Perhaps we should all try to slow down and try and observe the world through child-like eyes again. Maybe, just maybe we would want to preserve it for furture children to appreciate?

There is always hope when a pen such as yours can stimulate such hope and desire to change.

Well done on this.

Oh my!

I have a picture of a deep red maple leaf. It had fallen one wet morning and my son happened upon it. It was on a path of dark, wet tarmac. The contrast effected us both..without looking back at my phot I can clearly see it in my mind...maybe I should write about it as you have done so here.

Very well done.

Michael

You have such a varied understanding of language, & paint such lovely pictures w/ words you honestly should filter your gift into a novel !
