This is a very well written poem about the simple things of life and how happy we could be if only we would change our attitude to enjoy what God has places on this earth for us all. You used very good descriptive words and very beautiful imagery. love and blessings, Teri

You're so right. So many people miss the truly important things while chasing fleeting things. Thank you.
Comment from Lance Polin
This is a lovely thought, but one I cannot abide by because I just don't see it. Things are too dire to smile at a baby's laughter. To me that makes me mourn for the uncontrollable future this poor child will have to endure.

You simply refuse to see the bright side, don't you? I think you do that just to be contrary. lol. Thank you for reviewing even if you don't agree.

You're basically right. Contrariness is sort of like lingual calisthenics. But I do have to be pretty miserable to come up with that in the first place--

I'm truly sorry that you are miserable. Maybe it's time for an attitude change. 8-) We get out of life what we put into it.

Well done! We could all take a lesson; to not bemoan what we don't have or losses we have suffered, but to simply enjoy the beautiful things that we do have, before us, here and now. All the best, Ann Marie

Excellent entry, and best of luck. It is true we so many bad things going on in the world. We can let them sink us in despair, but as you mention a good attitude and hopeful heart can get us through those times. Small things like a baby's laugh or meeting an old friend can bring us some joyful experiences. Good thought to think about. Your rhyme and word choices are well done, too. Beautiful poem. judi

A very well-written poem. Our world and the people are in a very dire situation. It seems everyone tries to find a reason to fight against each other about pity things that doesn't really matter.

So true. Everyone focuses on the 'big' things in life and miss so much. Thank you for reviewing.
