The picture is almost too cheerful and colorful for the sadness of the poem, but both are great. I pray for courage and strength for all parents who lose a beloved child. It must be so very hard.

This poem expresses so much love that it made me tear up. Thankfully, both of my sons are still alive, but just the thought of losing one of them... I can't even imagine the pain.
This is a beautifully written tribute to sons who are gone and parents who are mourning.

Dear Mystery Writer,

Ohhh, no. I don't like this at all. It is superbly well-written and the message is a heart-stopper - especially since you've so cleverly hidden it until the final moment, but I just don't want to think about such things. This is a worthy entry -- good luck!
