A Father's Tears (Free Verse) Comments

Nice poem... can sense he sadness... here's my share: D Losing a loved one is painful A child gets more in grief Same flesh and blood, once grateful Death came sudden like a thief

Grief looses its tolerance when a father has to carry dead body of his son. Truly very touching and sensitive write.

really, fathers are full of love for their children though a few may not....but most at times children do not see it....as I read through this poem I was wandering if the child knew the kind of love his father had for him....good poem...

A lovely verse, a father's love holding on to the man! Dorothy A Poet Who Loves To Sing (My middle name is Cynthia)

As a father to six, this poem made me tremble and weep. I pray for this world and thank you for sharing your poem, Cynthia. Peace

I wish I saw this poem the day when most brutal Terrorists on my home land blasted off a passenger bus killing innocent school children and farmer men and women early in the morning few years back. When the President then visited this spot, against security advice, one father carrying his dead child in his hand asked almost same questions. That was the only time we saw tears falling from P's eyes, through public media. This moment became the turning point to the strategies adopted in facing the war. I admire your thinking and marvel your writing. Great!
