Your poem is very heartwarming. It took
me back in time when I had to explain to my then
two year old daughter why her daddy was gone.
Your poem showed the love and sweetness between parent and child. Well done!

Great poem!! it displays a deep love that a father has for his son. A spoken promise to a son to declare that he will always be in his son life. I really enjoyed this poem, thanks for sharing./peh

- Very nicely written and heartfelt.
-The reader can feel what the pain must be for the son.
-However, the father is so comforting and expresses his love so the son definitely understands that he won't be left alone.
-The first two lines are so sad, but most of the rest of the poem is the father responding so lovingly to this boy.
-One very minor correction: "and you wont lose me" (won't)

This is a powerful poem of the need of a son, and for a daughter I might add, to have a father in their life is so important. After a divorce the parents should come together in harmony for the sake of the children so the kids have the best of both parents. Good post, Patricia

    I agree with your comments, but in the raw stage of divorce it's not always so until a child demands this

Divorce is heart breaking for children. It is of great importance that both parents get involved in his life. The son needs a male influence in his growing years. It is well written with a good message.

This is a good message for anyone who experiences the pain of divorce and also has small children. The poem had good flow, and the repeated line was used effectively.

I would add an ' in the word wont [won't] 4th line 2nd verse.

Good job and good luck in the contest.

Every event would happen in the life of a parent, these do not need to separate him from a child. This promise strengthens it and certainly this will make the child feel safe and loved. A poem full of core.

All the best!

I think this is well done. I think the information on your notes would make this even stronger if part of your poem. Dialogue might be one way to accomplish this. That being said you paint a strong image here of a father and son together. Well done.

Yes, it happens more often now a broken home, a broken marriage, and a broken child. But for the sake of child the promise of a father to support his son is excellent example. A child life is to enjoy and is to hope for future. The promise of a father to his son gives the boy his life back.
