Congratulations on your win -- what an inspiring poem both for a parent and for any armed service person. The tone / voice is consistent and could be realistically voiced by a child. The word choice is appropriate for a young age and the rhyme is consistent and smooth.

A fine write from a child's point of view and this kind of job is sometime difficult for a child to understand, but your unique poem brings some clarity with humanity and kindness, love Dolly x

Thanks so much for the excellent review. Our soldiers don't get the recognition they deserve. My husband is a Veteran.

I agree with you, they are soon forgotten, yet the scars of war leave a resounding effect on soldiers for the rest of their lives x x x

Yes and my husband is reaping those bad effects from the Vietnam war.

This is just in time for Father's Day..

Thanks for the excellent review. Children who have military parents will understand the meaning. I am the wife of an Army Veteran.

I nice poem of praise for a dad and his contributions. From the POV of his child, we see the love and admiration for his work as a soldier, his bravery and the love he gives his family. Nice end rhyming.

Thanks for the excellent review. I really appreciate it. I write from the eyes of a Veterans wife and I know what they go through. Thanks again.

Thank you for letting us know how special and brave your dad is! He is very
lucky and surely proud to have a son like you share how proud you are of
him in such a loving message. A reminder that as a US soldier, he faces
many dangers and yet he is willing to be where he needs to be for all
our safety and especially yours and your family. I am sure you make
your dad feel proud you want to be just like him. I have no doubt
you will keep your promise.
God bless you and your dad...wherever he is....keep on loving
and being proud of him every day....
Blessings and best wishes...Ronni
