I really touch this short piece. I am a daughter but I understand the part of parents. They just want their children to be a good person someday...so, it is natural to discipline their child and guide to the right path...

I thought I had made
all the Parental Mistakes^^it is a very meaningful message..parents thought about when they get hurt their children they thought that they've done wrong..but behind of that they just want to show their love to their children and they don't want someday their children will walk astray.--this is very relatable,gosh! Still fresh in my mind the time when my mother became ill and in the cliff of death...in that very moment I remember all the good things she has done for us..her sacrifices for the sake of our education...hmmm..I think I am drift into dramatic emotion here..hehe',

but Jessica proves to me
creativity's boundless.
^^I have no knowledge who is Jessica you mean here, sir...but I like the way you write it her "creativity's boundless." maybe she is your wife that gives you a total support to be a good father...Well, parents deserve to be saluted because of their unconditional love. As whole this is a nice poem:)
