  • Final notes:
    It has been such an honor and pleasure to read these wonderful poems that were in my contest. Choosing which poems to award has been hard. So many of these poems pushed me to the brink of tears. The deciding factor though was the poems that closest related the way I felt. So here are your winners.

    Gold - To the son I never knew

    Silver - Let you go
    http://allpoetry.com/poem/4220743

    Bronze - A flicker of joy in a sea of sadness
    http://allpoetry.com/poem/4220807

    Finally I would like share with you a poem that I wrote about losing my son. It would be an honor if the poets who participated in my contest would read it.

      Acually for me. Writing about it helped alot. I took something that was so beautiful and precious and also so sad and depressing and put it into a poem that has been enjoyed by alot of people. it seems to me to be a good tribute to him. The poem I wrote will be posted once the contest is finnished.

      I know I have my godson now and he has been a tremendous blessing. I just wish my son was here with me. And I hope that I'll get another chance to have a son of my own.
