Dear Mom and Dad by ~juliev6:iconjuliev6:



Hug me tonight,
not later, or tommorrow..
My wedding day is closer then you think.

Bring me fishing,
tomorrow morning at dawn,
not that evening, not tomorrow.
My college degree will come sooner then you think.

Read me a bed time story..
not in a few minutes,
not after the ball game..
My drivers license will be mine closer then you think.

Lets go and play catch,
not after you pay the bills,
or make dinner.
My senior prom will be here sooner then you think.

Share your life with me.
Tell me stories for me to learn,
advice for me to succeed.
Tell me now, not later.

You will be a grandfather sooner then you think.

I like this, it flows really well! I like how you've used the things parents care about, and things you care about, and mixed them together. Possibly you could change the last line to something else, maybe something about a family of your own? But it's fine either way :)

Good work hun!
:hug:

nice work, I love thae logic that comes you put in this. It flows well, one suggestion though. . . it seems to degress in time as the poem goes through, but stanza 4 (Tell me about your father) seems out of order. It might improve the poem more if you switched s. 4 w/ s. 3 (Read me a bed time story.).

Excellent job, highlights what parents think is important vs what is going to happen, how life will be. . . Time. . . very nice job.
