Comment from Michael Sundaresan
A well-versed poem about early life strife and disappointment, and later, redemption. The final stanza when Christ is introduced shifts the tone of the poem.

Roy, your narrative poem about being reared by parents incapable of giving you the love you needed as a child, ends with the greatest love story ever told; that of being loved and accepted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Comment from MelB
Very sad when parents spend all their time fighting and a father cannot come to his son's games. It means so much to a child to have a parent there. I am glad that God provided good mentors for you and that you came to know the Fathers love.

Comment from christianpowers
Hi... yet another uplifting ode to faith.
Good job on this theme here, too. The one thing I noticed was the word choice here>> but my dad never came. << Wouldn't 'father' instead of 'dad' have worked better with both meter and lack of repetition? I don't know. I'm no poet. Just sounded like it might fit better.
Hope my suggestion helps.

Yes, it seems as for many of us who had rough starts, the Lord gives us an easier landing. You bring to life a real flight pattern. My blessings. You have my vote.

Comment from Autumn Splendour
Good to know, Roy, that you had mentors in place of ineffective parents. But the best 'mentor' was God, our savior and friend.
As always I enjoy the rhythm, rhyme and the lilting flow of your verses. Keep writing.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Roy - this is a lovely entry for this contest. You tell a good story with perfect meter about your upbringing with all the problems involved, but you express gratitude to God who gave you mentors who, in your words, their teaching was your gold. But again you tell us that Jesus is your greatest teacher and companion. I like your last line 'In him my thanks are stored'. A lovely poem and good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x
