Yes he is a lucky little boy.
How sad that there are many children lacking
the love of family.
Your Acrostic is worded beautifully and flows smoothly
with meaningful sentiment. Nancy

Comment from Samuel Dickens
This touches me on a personal level. We hear so much about a parent's love for their child, but not so much about the ones who don't. I'll not go into detail, but I've seen much of this "other kind". Raising a child may be the most important job on earth, but not all are qualified to do it.

Sam, thank you so much :-) Sadly, the other kind is far too prevalent. Every person deserves a good start in life. If more people got that, we'd have far fewer messed up adults. Brooke
Comment from Ekim777
A polished Acrostic (I have just recently posted one of my own)impeccable as always. It opens a treasure chest of questions. How does one define happiness and why can it not be define by one and all? What is our fate? Is it created by ourselves or are we all caught and blinded by our life long patterns? Old man Freud said our personalities are our fates. And last but not least. What is human love, that out worn, over-used word. Is it an ephemeral thing? -Ekim777

Comment from IndianaIrish
Your emotional acrostic reads so beautiful, Brooke. So many acrostics are choppy and reads with halting words and breaks. I agree how heart-breaking it is to see children without love from a family. Good luck in the contest.
Smiles,
Karyn : )

Thank you so much, Karyn. Yes, I normally just write acrostics for the twice-a-year site contests because it takes some work to make them sound unforced :-) Brooke
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
So sad for those who don't find love
and happiness in their lifetime --
This is a delightful Acrostic poem,
not the easiest of styles, but you've
kept rhyme also, which is most impressive.
and I just love the picture.
good luck with the contest, my friend.

Comment from padumachitta
Hi. I am just glad there are some who have the magic of a loving home. I know what it is like not to have one...and it makes me appreciate those who have one and share that experience...I sort of get it through osmosis:-)

Comment from Jade Lawson
An acrostic that passes an important message and it is a sad truth, unfortunately. I know from experience, but maybe if it had been different, I wouldn't be what I am today.
The flow is smooth and it is an easy to understand read.
Good luck.

Comment from mermaids
Your words reflect and tell the reader about the real gold in life, a loving family. I admire your acrostic form and smooth rhyming of words that makes this a poem one wants to read over and over again. I like the positive message of family.

Well done, Brooke. I thought about entering but it looked to complicated for me. You managed it great and complemented with an excellent photo.
