Strawberry Smiles

There is no match for the strawberry patch
When my girls and I go to pickin!
We look for the big, red luscious delights
And joyfully smile when they come into sight.

“I got one, oh look there are so many!”
But not enough, to say I have plenty.
Come frolick, laugh and pick away
Where strawberry smiles, rule the day.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 4/26/2024 8:37:00 AM Dear Tom, What a delightful ode to the simple joys in the strawberry patch. I loved how the imagery of plump, red strawberries evokes a sense of abundance and happiness. Your artistry capture the essence of shared moments and the contagious excitement of berry picking. It's a beautiful to cherish life's small pleasures and revel in each moment's sweetness. What a heartwarming piece. - Blessings, Daniel Login to Reply Tom Valles Date: 4/26/2024 2:00:00 PM Daniel, I appreciate so much your kind comments.

Laura Leiser Date: 4/26/2024 6:07:00 AM This delightful poem of yours brought me back in time to light hearted times of picking wild berries with family! Thank you for this! A pleasure to read! :) Login to Reply Tom Valles Date: 4/26/2024 2:04:00 PM Oh, thank you Laura! My niece sent me a picture of her little girls (all five) whose smiling mouths were covered with strawberries. They inspired the poem almost instantly. Thanks again for taking time to write. Blessings to you!
