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.

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

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!
