You may think it was written yesterday. It reminds me of what I miss from my father. He represented that object of fear, always on your toes when he was around. I loved him, but I wish he could reciprocate. This poem is relevant to all young fathers and fathers to be.
It is such a wonderful poem. Keep writing. This poem was very touching! I just cannot stop crying. I really miss the days when I was little. Now I feel that my parents do not want to listen or to talk to me.
I love this poem! It's so touching. I don't have any kids, but I'm moving for college in a few months and this poem actually made me want to cry. I really do miss those times. I really want to use it in my poetry paper, but I can't find the author, can someone please help me? I love this poem. I am using this for my cousins project.
Surely it will touch teachers heart because of its real meanings. Such great poem must be shared with every adult I am using for a school assignment and my English teacher loves it! I have a high functioning Autistic daughter and was just looking around for something to express my reservations, concerns and joy at her becoming a "woman" this evening. Though she stands as tall as an average size woman, she's got the heart and soul of a nine year old. Needless to say, this has been very difficult for both of us.
I happened to run across your poem and I have to admit the tears flowed freely but a I felt a level of relief and comfort from your words. I'm not sure exactly why and I chose not to decipher or over analyze the moment. Simply stated, you moved my heart and soul and put into words the things my heart was crying for. Thank you! I love this poem to bits! I'm using it for my English project at school, so the whole of my class can know the poem and spread it.
The whole world should know this poem. It will stay in my heart forever. Thank you so much! Really love it! I could write for hours and days about why it touches me so -- but I will instead take your advice, and go hug my kids! Thank you. This is a great poem and it made me want to go cuddle with all of my grandchildren who think they are now too old to be cuddled. Beautiful poem, it reminded me of my childhood, my face brightness every time I think about how I was taken care of.
To all parents: the little things you do for your kids will be the source of their happiness someday. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful and touching poem. I am a seventy plus proud grandmom with one grand child who will be three years old in about two months.
I shall proudly share your poem with my husband and son for enjoyment, thoughts, inspiration and appreciation. Sometimes things touch you and this is one of them. I am blown away by that fact!!! The kids turning another year older really made me reflect on the fact that it literally seems like yesterday that I brought Mara home from the hospital and gave her to Wesley to hold, and how he was so tender and gentle with her.
I literally sobbed my way through it because I am right there at the moment and can so closely relate to what the author is talking about. It is my hope that you will read this poem and reflect for a moment. Treasure this time you have with your babies, because while they are still small, the time goes so, so fast.
