Poor Little Boy

sad but many times that is the situation very toughing poetry linda makes one think

so sad and my eyes tear once again. lovely sweet Rose

Wow ROSE!!..... this is truly powerful...... the simplicity is befitting for such complicated subject matter....... the delivery is so poetically perfect for it speaks to the heart of a problem that is supported by fund raisers from people that created the poverty problem in the very first place....... hats off to you girlfriend........PINNED for being representative of the inner strength required it takes to rise from the hypocritical ashes of being poor in America....... and ALL STARS for rubbing those self same stars on the flag in the faces of the AMERICAN rich!!....... kick ass write!!.......T xo........?

Hi  Rose Such a sad tale you tell 
but a reality of this world, is poverty 
I hate to think of children/people suffering 
having to go without it really upsets me 
I give When i can i support a few charities too
I like the end where the child has a determination
to want to change the situation when and if he can 
 A Great write my friend 
Lots of love Debs 
 

My darling little Rosebud,

I`m so very, very proud of you sweetie. This piece is simply gorgeous my darling. I love the positive ending that shows that though life is hard and we have many knock backs and poverty is rife, there is also a strength in all of us that helps us all to fight to make it through life the best we can and to make the best out of our situations and more importantly to make life better for others along the way.

We can all do this by thinking more of others less fortunate, and simply working hard together to make this world a better place for all. The message you show your readers here in this piece is very clear and beautiful, and that is that we must never give up trying and we must all do our best for others less fortunate than us by helping in any way we can. After all a kind word or a helping hand to someone in need of support costs absolutely nothing and it makes such a big difference to that person that you`ve helped and they will never forget you either.

God gave us the gift of life and we all have the same responsibility for each other to show love and kindness because love is free and brings so much joy to those you pass it on to each day.

Well done for a wonderfully well written and very well thought out piece my darling, it brought tears to me too but they were tears of pride in my little Rosebud.

I love you sweetie

I find this so very sad.....yet, encouraging. I like it!..good job Rose, in relaying the boys emotions to us .......and pulling us into his world. This happens so much in this world to so many. I love the ending......unexpected! I like the way you bring in his plans for his family as well.....and that his spirit can't be broken....precious. It made me reflect on many......Albert Einstein whose teacher thought him dumb....a child not holding any promise!.....Thomas Edison and his hundreds of tries! Michael Jordan......several failures in basketball before he made it big! Emily Dickenson....so humble ...unsure of her own gift and talent.....not sure her writing even counted in her moments alone..... now well known world wide...... as one of the greatest poets/writers of ALL time! If this world could only learn to hold one another up and encourage........always! What a gift that would be. Your sweet spirit and heart comes across in your writing Rose. God bless you for it! Have a nice evening..............  Paula
