His Mother\'s Son

This poem draws the distinction between that giving that meets desire and that giving that teaches. Being a parent I have seen the difference. Sometimes the ultimate giving is giving up the need to be loved and liked for that of the good of the child. Far better to be disliked and even hated in creating a good child than to be loved by a bad one. Well done in good rhyme and very good meter and flow. A fave

Powerfully worded poem, highlighting the rich are getting richer and more powerful and the poor are getting poorer, well worded.
