This is beautiful! Very touching emotional Poem. I can see why it was chosen. I want you to enter my Questionku contest, I think you would do very well, you are good at asking questions.

Reflection of reality is posted here. The relationship between parent and child sometimes takes courage to present. You did a magnificent job here. You might enjoy "Let Me Be Your Friend' posted on my page. I wrote it some time ago in celebration of Mothers Day.... Jake
