This is a well written, loving poem. It expresses the hardships some children have to suffer, but there were others who filled in for your parents--finally finding the Lord. He has the ability to heal us and I think you described it well.

Comment from Judy Couch
Excellent poem. It rhymes nicely and has good rhythm. It's message is wonderful. A lot of people experienced abuse or neglect in childhood. Those who succeeded in spite of it were the ones who came to depend on God.

Comment from adewpearl
solid use of abcb rhyming
good use of enjambment
good touches of alliteration
a moving story of the mentors God gave you in place of a supportive father
a poignant story with a strong spiritual component Brooke

Comment from Drew Delaney
What a sad story about a son whose father never attended his games. And an angry mother. Why was she angry? I feel for that young boy. But you ended up finding God and he became your heavenly Father. How special a gift that is. Drew

When I was just a boy, indeed it is sad for the children when there parents don't get along, that's a very heartfelt expressed poem. Good luck at the contest,
Thanks for sharing it. God bless you, lakeport.

Well done and good luck in the contest. You told us your story very well and it rhymed nicely throughout. I particularly liked the last two lines of the first stanza. You chose a great image which fits perfectly with the comfort and hope you found in Jesus. best wishes Fiona.

This is a perfect entry for the contest. You tell a story that many of us are familiar with, I guess I was one of the lucky ones. My parents were always there. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Blessings. Bill

Comment from Donovan
I commend you for this work. It tells the story and the message is clear. I get it and understand the comfort it brings. Having said that, this theme and this approach is used so much. Look at the event from a different point of view and see if there is a unique way of telling the same story. Just a thought.

Comment from risktaker
God will provide what we need, when we need it. I relate to an absentee father for my grandson. I am presently praying that God puts the appropriate mentor to transition him into manhood. He has a great deficit of knowledge. I know that God will not abandon Him. I love the word choice and rhyme. Thanks
