Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. My dad used the GI Bill to get an education also. I always appreciate you posting your poems.

I love your simple, straightforward poetic style and the way your poems rhyme with good cadence. This is another wonderful example in which you give some history about yourself. I think you found your calling with poetry, and I agree completely about how fulfilling it can be. When I write a poem that I like, there's no greater feeling, and I just want to share it. I'm glad you share yours with us.

This is one of the most beautiful poems you have written. You tell some of the story of your life and how poetry played an important part. I am not a poet, but love to read poetry and admire those who can put words together in rhyme. I am glad to know you will continue. I look forward to reading your work. It's inspiring.

This is very heart warming and very real having to serve one's country. My brothers cousins and nephews used the GI Bill to further their education.many financed their first homes too.
Great job my friend.

Yep, I agree. It's a darn good way of getting things off one's chest, to perhaps sow something into a fellow reader/writer's heart or soul, or wherever it finds a Home, my dad served in the second world conflict, beautifully written, blessings Roy

"I must go on, with what I do." Please do.

I'm trying to write about stuff my life inspires me to put words down. I don't want to say like you but i am inspried by you. What courses did you take with the GI Bill?
