Hello Yvonne.
This is a very encouraging piece written about your son. I don't write a great deal of free verse but free verse is in the eyes of the writer. Yours tells his story of what he does every day. What else can a story do? You also do a great job of tying in the word "sparkle" as the subject of the poem.
Well Done.

Thank you so much, Robert. I was blessed with the sons God gave me. I always said He knew I didn't know what I was doing, so He sent me good material. 8-)

Nothing puts a sparkle in a mothers eyes more than seeing her children when they are successful and especially when the children are generous to others. Don and Vicki.

This is very nice of you to dedicate your poem to your son. He sounds like a good kid. It's true you can tell how a person feels just by looking at their eyes. Excellent work! Thanks for sharing!

How apt to be able to render a treatise about someone you love and make it a pleasing piece to read. You sound so loving a proud here and you do make him sound so special.

Hello Yvonne,
A sparkling poem about one of the country's heroes,
one of the many points of light that make a difference.
Poetry that sparkles and sings beautifully.
The definition of six stars and what makes our country truly sparkle
like the stars on our flag.
Best wishes to all.

My wife and elder daughter are more caring than anyone I know, and the most selfless, so as a mum you would be very proud of your boy, and as a medic one would need to absorb others sorrow. Well done Yvonne, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Please thank your son for me. It is a community of heroes out there answering the call, putting themselves at risk, calming the worried patient... I hope he's first in line for vaccinations! YOU have a sparkle in your eyes (per your photo)--so I am pretty sure where your osn gets those sparkly peepers! God Bless and Happy New Years--Karenina

The truth of a person is always shown in his/her eyes. If the eyes don't match the words or actions then you know it is wrong. It sounds like your son has a good heart and his eyes show it.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy New Year, Diane.

Wonderful heartfelt emotion. Send my thanks for your son's service as a frontline service worker keeping us safe in difficult times. The verse had a nice flow and worked wonderfully. No edits or adjustments to suggest. A great photo of him sitting in the ambulance. He does look like he has a great bed-side manner. Happy new year.
