This is beautifully put together, building up to such sad final lines.

Absolutely beautiful! It made me almost cry. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Beautifully written, and sad to know that Hogan will never be able to know his son, and vice versa.

Can't believe I didn't review this. How awful! Anyway, I have reread this several times, as I am a sucker for well-written tearjerkers. Brings a lump to my throat each time.

What a poignant poem, not sure how I missed it. I was reading another story and someone mentioned this one in the reviews so I had to come read it.

It brought tears to my eyes. You should write more like this.

Wow! Angsty, vivid, descriptive, wonderful story telling in so few words that's TALENT!

Someone hand me a box of tissues...

Bringing tears to my eyes...

A very poignant and beautifully written piece. So heartfelt, and so heart wrenching; it brought tears to my eyes. You truly have an amazing talent for writing poetry. Thank you for sharing this.

Absolutely beautiful, poetic, and heart wrenching. You've shown us a new side to your writing abilities very well done. I like a piece that invokes great emotion as this does. It literally made me cry.

Beautiful poem showing Tiger's feelings as she tries to come to grips with Hogan's apparent death prior to their child being born.I'm guessing she's at Hogan's grave telling him about their son and how he has Hogan's eyes and smile. A son the Colonel will never see. Very sad but brilliantly written.
