I have come to realise that family is everything. We have nothing greater on earth than the support of a loving and caring family. Thanks!
Comment from Dawn Munro
The message in this poem is admirable, because as the song says , children are the future, and happy well-adjusted people make better decisions and better leaders. Sounds to me like this poet would have made a good teacher, (of any subject) because he/she obviously sees clearly the importance of allowing dreams to have room to develop.

Thank you Dawn - that was a kindly thing to say!
Comment from Bill Schott
The overall theme to this poem is well established. Teach children the basics for understanding and relating to their world. Train, but don't restrain. Aim them, but don't push them.

Comment from Rdfrdmom2
Your message is so very true. As a retired educator, I
can replay countless stories such as yours where kids
got pushed into something they did not want - sometimes
to very grave consequences. I hope many parents read and
heed your words.
thanks for sharing
good luck in the contest
love,
jan

Thank you Jan for your kindly words. I have struggled with depression due to facts relating to this problem, but although I may never reach my full potential in this area, I do keep trying for some success in it. Thank you.
Comment from donaldww
Excellent poem about making sure people can follow their dreams. Accounting is not for everyone, and art is not either.
So follow your dream when you're young so you gain the necessary skills for when you're older.
Cheers,
DW

Comment from elliejean
I love the poem. I love the message it sends. One can not dream for another. You have to be who you are. The dreams may seem senseless to a parent. But they need to heed them and find a good path. Great work.

Comment from adewpearl
solid rhyming couplets
good proximate rhyme of calling/drawing
good alliteration in determined to draw
this poem is bound to resonate with many people whose parents steered them in a direction they did not want to go
good alliteration in try to teach
you offer sage advice in good poetic form :-) Brooke

Comment from visionary1234
aaah, I do like your approach to this one with a strong message to parents to "lay off!" And I surely agree with that, having learned the hard way - and am trying to do just that with my son. Good entry! :) Sharyn

Thank you for your good review. I don't think parents should lay off. Kids do need their help to get started in their chosen pathway. Parents just must not impose their will on the kids, especially if a child has such a strong drive or interest. I see you are doing very well in the contest!
