Such emotion in each line with a sentiment that will resonate so powerfully with every, similarly, vigilant and loving parent.

Your beautifully crafted and poignant words have halted me in my tracks, once again, Seu.

After several readings, I've just read it with my eldest daughter who, I'm proud to say, is also blessed with a good measure of courage. Her gentle smile, knowing nod and the tearing in her eyes, demonstrated her appreciation.

Your poem warrants far more than 50 claps.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

i am no longer afraid...
