Any words that are meant to offer motivation to young or old puts you at the top of the page. Bravo! I love how you use show that we can fall down on our faces, or fail at something, but the key is to get up and get going again. Grab life by the horns and enjoy the ride!
Smiles, Carol

I haven't seen you before. You write well thought out verses, but A larger font is needed for a lot of us. Quite a few have eye trouble. Small print gives me a head ache. You can get free pictures from Google, Bing, and Pinterest among others. Just mention their name in your authors notes and they are free. A picture helps illustrate your thinking. Karen

When I first got here, I was against using pictures. I thought my words should be enough. What a twit I was! A picture can convey so much! From your picture, are you from the Northwest? If so, how cold is it there> 42% here in Texas.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Well, without even seeing the title of the contest brief, I was thinking this is a great verse to get us all up and motivated. Love your kiddie, catchy language (spiffy up, giggle out). You could create your own kiddie dictionary:)) Great imagery too, as in stanza 5. An excellent entry, Stu! Well done and good luck! Debbie

Comment from jake cosmos aller
nice poem with a good message on just enjoying the ride of life. Like these lines the best
Snuggle up between the raindrops
Eat an apple to the core
For when all is said and done
Two and Two still equals four

Comment from Tim Margetts
What a great poem.
I love the way you take all the rough bits that life throws at us, then twist them to look at the positive.
It reminds me of the song by Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy.

Comment from LJbutterfly
No only is this a Kiddies motivational poem, it it fun to read with easy flowing rhymes and familiar cliches. You maintain interest with lots of vivid imagery like, happy sun, fading stars, a fancy pony, honey bees, and Kansas trees. Your contest entry is well done and enjoyable. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Trina Layne
I think this piece is quite appropriate for the audience. I liked the use of rhyme - internal and external. I imagine a child would enjoy listening to this. It is a genre that I would like to attempt some more myself. Crafting literary works, poems to be precise, for children that have substance but are still accessible to them. Nice job!

What a wonderful poem of encouragement! It describes so well life's rollercoaster ride. We will all have "failures", but we learn from them and move on. Thank you!
