Daddy’s Boots (Children) Comments

CJ, Powerful...As all good sons do, he wants to be just like Daddy and be the man. This child literally and figuratively wants to walk in his Daddy's shoes but also has the intelligence to know those are pretty big boots to fill. His Mother sees in the child the man he will be by trying to fill his Daddy's boots and as far as she's concerned all that is left is physically growing into the man her son is to become. This poem is complete in its discription of a Father's adoring son. Rusty

CJ, Another one that begs the question: why do children get all the best things? A fantastic meditation on responsibility and innocence. love Denis Joe XXX

This is adorable. I just lost a good friend to the war, so I can totally relate.

A lovely poem for thanksgiving when so many are away from their families.

such a sweet look at how a child views his fathers role, as a soldier and a father, i really like your poems it interests me that sometimes the simplest, poems have the most power. regards vincent
