    This poem really, really confused me. The overall message behind it was a little jumbled. At first, I thought it was going to be a happy poem about a great boy. Then, you said "I hope you're happy now.
    Yeah, I hope you're happy now"

    Usually when someone uses that phrase, it gives off the emotion of anger. So then I thought you were bitter over a loss. Okay, I can deal with that.

    But THEN, you wrote about their eyes shining, so now I get the feeling you miss them. So I can't tell whether you're angry, sad, or well-wishing (I have no idea if that word exists, btw). Then you end with a feeling of even MORE confusion by saying you hope you see them again. It's just really confusing.

    To be a little nitpicky, your first stanza is good. Simple, but good. I automatically assumed you would use the ABCB rhyme scheme that was there. But then you stopped rhyming. Either continue rhyming, or don't rhyme at all.

    Overall I think this piece could be great, if you developed your emotions more and technique.

    Have fun writing!
