It says a lot about the power of love between elderly and youth.

If all fathers loved their kids like this bent and grey man, maybe the world would be a better place. I'm thinking of the story of Kyler R. in the news this week. During my thirty years teaching in the rough and tumble public schools, I saw too many like Kyler. It's too bad that most American's don't think of the education of their children like the Chinese do.

Awesome write!

Heartfelt and flawless, indeed ! ! ! - Bill

An excellent description of a man who gave unconditional love to children at all times. Thank you, and keep loving kids. They are a gift from God.

You created a beautiful picture of a man that was rich in love for children.Enjoyed this poem.

I enjoyed reading this as well as your new "news" item. This is chock full of imagery and I'm going to be reading more of your works.

touching poem for me Rose because it was just the opposite for me, my dad died not saying anything that made any sense me. Then he left all of his land to one of my cousins

i son of a dead beat daddy,
who didn't father steady.
he left all his land to a cousin,
knowing he had children who equaled almost a dozen.
I tried to give dad the benefit of the doubt,
until the contents of the will came out.
again i feel all screwed,
but my hate won't be renewed.

I went to his funeral and said something positive,
also did a little crying.
