This warmhearted poem touched me and brought a tear to my eye, how very sad that your brother was abandoned and for reasons only your Mother knows. I am so glad that you were reunited and your brother has forgiven the past. A very touching, honest and heartbreaking story here, love Dolly x

    He was born and raised there. My father was a WW2 soldier and my mom his war bride. She worked as a nurse in London, but was born in Bourne.

This is a very moving story. I think it will be felt by the readers and the secret voters. Since this is a true account, I recommend changing the listing from General to Biographical.

It is strange your mother left her boy with someone else. But who knows what occurred in her past? It is too bad she didn't share the information with you. I wish you the best in the contest.

    I know, it's a mystery that will never be solved. I'm learning to come to terms with it though. Thank you for reading my poem.

They say things happen for a reason. Back in the day people gave their kin to relatives because they had no money for the others.they didn't have service like welfare back then.

    You could be right. At first I was angry, then I remembered that my mom was only 21 and coming to America for the first time. It must have been overwhelming. Besides, who am I to judge her. Thanks so much for reading my poem.

Your poetic story has me completely undone. I don't think I have enough tissues in my house. Gosh I can't even imagine the depth of loss and yet finding such joy, pain and so many unanswered questions. Your poem is so heart-rending yet beautiful at the same time. The rhyme and rhythm carry your heart and story so well. I hope you both find comfort in knowing each other and the new memories you form together. Blessings for this Christmas season. I wish I had a 6 to offer. Thank you for sharing your story and glimpse of your life.

You told the story well, Sharon. I remember when you first
posted about finding your long-lost brother. This one was
well-written, though poignant. Yes, some things may never
be explained. However, you and James have a second chance.
I liked the smooth flow, the good rhymes, and the awesome
imagery your words created. The pictures were perfect and
both adorable.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

You did a wonderful job telling your story through this poem. The poem itself was written so well. The rhyming was perfect, and the artwork was exactly what this poem needed. Best wishes for winning the contest.
