Comment from Jacqueline O.
Loved the simple idea of this, and the way you executed it with the repetition. It was short and sweet and quite heartfelt. My only suggestion for improvement is to watch your syllable count and stress placement- keeping these consistent will make for a much smoother read. Other than that, it's a great submission!

Mystery writer, such a fun, uplifting poem for children.
I can visualize the children having fun. Great repeats
and makes this easier to read or say when around children.
Hope you get this published. flylikeaneagle

Comment from Alexander Vasa
Hi Anon, you have written a wonderful poem for your target audience, and children are discerning readers, it's quite difficult to write children's books and poetry.
Nothing to fix, and I have no suggestions for improvement, the vocabulary was simple enough and just a smattering of three syllable words, which get that bit trickier for little people, but lots of good two syllable vocab. And all the actions and settings are ones children can relate to: out walking, hand in hand, the sea, the town. I think this is very well written for kids, and having said that as an adult I enjoyed it too.
A strong five-star poem and thanks for sharing it, Ana.

What a lovely photo, and what wonderful images that so depict childhood. I'd change the "to" to "too" in the sentence "won't go to fast..." at the beginning.
