Ode To Theodore 2 Comments

This poem speaks directly to me because I am the father of a 24 year old boy, no, young man. I especially appreciate the emotionalism of your poem: it's not in my nature to express my heart's truth with such admirable abandon. But you hold nothing back: your pride in his growth to adulthood, your unconditional love of him, your relief that all is well - all of these things are voiced in your poem. And posting this poem at Poemhunter means that other parents, like me, can appreciate the wonder of raising a child ourselves. Your poem won't let us take that experience for granted.
