Hi Happy to write

I discovered your item on Writing.com via random Read & Review and am sending the following feedback for your consideration.


Positives

You did a really great job with the sentiment and the message in this piece. I think it's a lovely dedication to your son's birth and something that I'm sure he'll be very touched by when he's old enough to appreciate the creativity that went into writing something like this for him.


Suggestions

For me, the second line needs some kind of punctuation between "You were easy to love" and "I didn't hesitate" to break up the two discrete thoughts. I also find myself wondering what the hesitation relates to. Was it hesitation with the idea of having children at all? With the idea of keeping a child, or with the process of giving birth? Some additional context would be helpful to fully understand the hesitation that you were not struggling with (that presumably other people do).


Overall

Overall, this was a delightful poem that was short, concise, and effectively communicated your love for your child. Well done!


I hope you've found this review helpful. If so, please consider paying it forward by reviewing the work of another Writing.com author! *Bigsmile*
