It’s really good! Everything is a source of awe and novelty to a baby. It’s fun to imagine how they see the world—so many ordinary things must seem absolutely magical. Thanks for sharing!

This is exactly what I hoped to capture, how the tiniest, most ordinary things feel like magic through their eyes. So glad that came through in the poem!

Ah, so beautiful, so pure. I’m a great grandmother and was transported back to a time when my grown children were just babes. Thank you for that. Life is still so busy that I forget to stop… and reflect. The greatest gift is still viewing the world through the eyes of a child with innocence, wonder and beauty.

Sarah, this is such a gentle, radiant piece. It carries both the lightness of a child’s wonder and the weight of an adult’s wistfulness. You capture that in-between world so well—where discovery is fresh, and nothing is filtered through performance. The imagery is vivid, grounding us in the sensory details of early childhood, while the closing stanzas gently guide us toward reflection. It's a rare thing, to write a poem that feels both universal and deeply personal. I hope this is just the beginning of many more you’ll share.

This made my day, and the ending really made me tear up. The line "her fist opens, and a worm falls out, a giggle escapes at her mother’s surprised shout." made me chuckle. I'm so honored to have sparked inspiration for this. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!

I’m so touched that it made you feel something (and made you laugh too!) Your daughter’s presence in that image was pure magic—I just followed the feeling. 💛
