This is a lovely poem about a child whose life was cut short. I lost a child too. The memory is sweet but grief shouldn't last forever. This Roundabout poem was nicely written.

A lovely, but sad romance Roundabout poem June about losing the love of your life.
Eternal bond of love is tight
The joy outweighs the grief - yes, that is true. Nice one,

I found these words heartfelt, sad, loving, caring and creative. As I read
the author's words they brought me to tears. The pain of losing someone
you love so much was conveyed. The poem flows and connects well.
The artwork is lovely and goes well with these words.

Child of Love
June Sargent,
Your poem Child of Love is beautiful. there are so many lines of how you wrote, I was impressed with the The Roundabout format when you said---Our time together was too brief
A love affair so rare
I took a leap
'Cross mountain steep
A love affair so rare

You did a great job with this Roundabout format! I liked how you showed that despite the loss due to untimely death of the loved one, there remain so much love and joy in memories.

The tragedy of losing a child must run very deep, although it's never happened to me or Elaine, and I've never known the daily pain of that loss, I can guess by the love I bear for my kids. This is a fine poem June, and marks your amazing ability with words. Well done, blessings Roy

This is really good. Besides following the structure correctly, you did it without forcing any syllables or rhymes. The message was heartbreaking and strong. The imagery that you evoked was clear and compelling. Great job!
