I think this poem deserves a six. Children's growth depends on the gardener. Favourite line:
Because,
in the end,
when they grow up,
you have a friend.
And, they do grow fast...

Hi, Treischel,
Thanks for another excellent free verse poem. It has excellent flow and imagery. It expresses an excellent philosophy that all parents and relatives ought to follow in my opinion. Fine looking boy.

This is a six star write but FS gave the same old message again - time and again: You have rewarded this author a six star rating twice in the past thirty days so this rating is not available. Darn! A virtual seven *******, smiles.
The truth in this poem is well entrenched and solid. I considered this an axiom as I cannot fault it as being the truth of our children or grands.
I can see a change of positive poems coming out after your lamenting the fall in ranking and lack of reviewers.
The good times are rolling in and I do hope I have influenced you somewhat, smiles.
This is a terrific write - what everyone wants to read, something close to heart!
Well done Tom. Bravo. Just loved each and every line in the story. Your grandson looked so inquisitive as if he was asking a question when the pic was taken, smiles.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

Thank you Ritchie. You are a gem.

All of us are gems while some prefer to be diamonds and emeralds.
Me, I just want to be a beautiful coral in the Australian Great Barrier Reef - basking in delight and cheering the world with colors of rainbow. How is that for a gem of a coral? Smiles.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

Your poem speaks a lot of sense, comparing the growing of our children to the growth in the garden was ingenious on your part and the poem is lovely. I love the picture of your gandson too, he's cute! xsx Sandra

Comment from Enrique28
A fine poem in which the importance of leading by example, and the need for kindness comes to the fore very strongly...
Children are indeed fascinating. They bring out the child in us.
An excellent poetic recipe for parenthood!
Very aptly presented

Very nice. We often see child as plants growing up. But we are then plants or "flowers" ourselves. We are just the seeds planted. It is our maker that we rely on. (If you are not inclined, then it is a lesson about learning to share what we have is what we teach.) Like flowers we need to display our best behavior, then children grow better.
