'Little Billy' is a well-written and heart-wrenching piece. This talented poet has learnt the truth through his loss. Love, family and freedom so often came at a terrible cost. It was a privilege to read and review a work of this caliber.

Comment from Renee' J Thomas
I think this is a wonderful tribute to your dad, too bad he isn't here to read it. I was in your fathers' era, so many young men left and never returned, soooo sad.
I think if you correct this following it will be better!

Comment from JSway
THe Vietnam War took so many lives and left families bereft of loved ones who fought to defend their country and its way of life. Thank you for remembering these brave souls, the ones they left behind, and of the importance of living.

Comment from cheyennewy
Hi keimosobie,
This is a heartbreaking poem. Is the picture you used of your dad? I often wonder if humans will ever learn how to get along and abolish war forever? Probably not. Both my husband and one of my grandsons fought a war. Thank God they came home safe. You have a nice rhyme and gentle in this melancholy poem. Well done....chey

Comment from Joan E.
I am pleased you were able to say those important four words and the posting of this poem inspired you to do so. Cheers! Thank you for sharing your reflections on the tragedy of war in your rhyming couplets. Your "three years older" than your son is a very powerful comparison.

Sorry for your loss, time may have past but you don't ever forget.
War is not a thing we need but they continue nether the less.
I like your poem very much.

Comment from M.L. Gardner
Very beautiful poem with deep heartfelt meaning. I like how you gently worked in how the cycle repeats itself. We have a new generation of children who will only know their father by a picture and a medal. Touching and well written. I like the informality of it, with no use of capitalization or punctuation. Gives it a touching innocence.
