The sad thing about the picture re-written with your words Jack, is the reality of the thought. I wish you all the best in the contest. Many thanks for your kind words on my poem :)

A sad poem that grips the reader's heart, Jack. I agree with what Andrea said. This is a very compelling interpretation of the photo and I hope you get a big win! Love, Carolyn
