Great message, and it's easier to deal with the pain of childhood when you remember that he's not your true father - only a flawed stand-in who has his own issues to contend with.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Yep, Roy, I know many kids whose parents don't pay any attention to them or care about what they are involved in, or what they are doing. Many turn to mischief, or get into trouble by drinking, doing drugs, getting mixed up with the wrong crowds or in gangs. Thanks heavens there is always God's love, guidance and mercies to count on.
Well done, and best of luck! ~Dean

None of us were, nor are perfect, Roy. Not now, not then...not ever. All we can do it try to do our best.

Comment from Jacob Collins
I think we all want our parents to be proud of us at special events when we are younger but unfortunately for those who are working hard they can't always be there. I enjoyed your piece, I thought that your writing flowed well and I couldn't find any faults. Good luck in the contest...Jacob

Comment from mfowler
Lovely poem with a crucial message. Learn to be grateful
Here you made lemonade from lemons, but more importantly found the source and purpose of your life in Jesus.
Good verse with a good rhythm underpins a good entry for this competition.
Best of luck.

Hi,
Beautiful artwork with your poem, showing his love.
Having had a good childhood, with no fighting, and my dad umping my brother's little league games, I tend to forget others may not have been so lucky.
Reminds me to be thankful.
Beautiful poem. Good luck in the contest.
Cheers & Blessings

I like the beginning when you describe that things were not always the greatest during the early years of life.

Hi to this unknown author. I am so glad you found a way to turn your back on those childhood hurts. Not an easy thing to accomplish coming from a house with little caring. All goodness and power to you, alf

Your poem has a strong message and awesome picture. The flow was very good. I like the rhyme. I believe that God does not give us more than we can handle although we sometimes think that happens. Good job with the prompt. No changes needed. Good luck in the contest.
