Very nice, Begin Again. I'm one of those who so often forgets to stop and smell the roses, and needs to be reminded to 'cheer up!' Like the idea of a frown being misplaced by a smile:). All the best in the contest,
Heather

    You are never alone with that...Most of us get wrapped up in everyday living and forget to appreciate the simplier things.

    Thanks for reviewing and your kind comments. Have a great day. Carol

This is truly lovely,
has a smooth flow to
the words that give a
message to us all - to
stop and smell the roses
and smile, for we are
alive and kicking - life
is to live and enjoy.

Well penned, my friend.
Margaret.

    Thank you so much...nothing in comparison to your lovely poems, but I did enjoy writing it. I guess it's the thought behind it that counts. Appreciate all of your generous comments. Your friend, Carol

A sound advice to your loved ones, who likes to frown. I think your effort will be fruitful as you are so encouraging and persuasive. Yes, there is so much to marvel about, why should we frown?

So here we are in God's place- a lovely thought, Carol, and good reason to have a smile. I might suggest you consider 'Here you are in God's place' as the whole poem refers to you except that one line. This is truly a poem that offers imagery that should make a frown disappear. Great flow and rhyme and lovely sentiments. Joyce

    I believe he created this beautiful world for us to enjoy. How unfortunate that so many would prefer to destroy.

    Thanks for your kind and generous review. I greatly appreciate it. Carol

Stop and smell the roses
Or hear the birdies sing.
Watch the clouds drift by
Or smell the rain in spring.

This is beautiful, just beautiful, Carol. Positive and meaningful, delightful to read and review. Thank you for this kind reminder; we need to look around, enjoy our surrounding. Thank you for sharing. Your friend, tati (July 04, 2009)

Begin again, you're right. We're not very good at stopping to smell the roses and need to be reminded again and again. Thank you for the lovely reminder. Very well put. Take care, pat
