My daughter always said that people should be required to have a license before procreating. How wretched for an innocent child to be born into an unloving family. A great picture --big smiles all around.

Comment from BunnyS
So beautifully said. Your poem is well written and packs a punch of a message. It is so sad that so many children will spend their lives trying to pick up the pieces of a broken home. There is no substitute for loving parents. Great job!

Comment from José Ángel
I read your poem and gave me a bit of nostalgia, perhaps the figure that you show or maybe because it reminded me of some gaps I had during my childhood, I enjoyed your writing. My congratulations, great job, a hug from Chile

Comment from Goodauthor
This is so true. Your poem has good flow and adding commas and periods the flow was enhanced. Ending the poem with a period was so appropriate to the message. I enjoyed the read.

Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi Brooke,
I think it breaks all our hearts to know that many children live in homes where 'love' is a stranger.
Well set out in this poem.

Comment from His Grayness
Dear Brooke: another great work of deep and honest, pure, GRATITUDE! I must tell you that I honestly had a dream about Sawyer last night ... I guess from so many pictures but in the dream he was grown up and we talked about your brilliant idea of writing the chronicles of his life and how many people with which you poetically shared his childhood on Fanstory alone! I feel like his close friend! Lovely work..Vance

Comment from Hareem.S
May God bless Sawyer's family and may he continue to receive the love and support of his parents and grandparents. Yes every child is not so blessed , and sometimes it almost seems unfair. But i believe that God cant be unjust to His creation.

Hareem, thank you so much :-) I think it is far more than "almost" unfair - there are kids who are beaten to death and starved. Others who are called filthy names. Others who are abandoned. Some live in areas where there is no food or water. How is that not unfair? Brooke

Yes thats true.
Comment from Gladness
Your family is truly blessed. Your poem makes a clear and sad point. Many children will never know this kind of joy in their youth, but they can provide it for their own children someday. My son in law had a terrible childhood, but is providing a good one for my grandchildren. Anita

What a beautiful family you have. I hope they live close to you and you can see them every day. Mine are so far away and it makes you lose track.

Comment from Bryana
Love poem dear Brooke! You are so right.
So many people alone, nobody to love or
be loved and specially children.
Thank you for posting the picture of
Sawyer's parents, a very handsome family.
Have a wonderful labor day.
