"Are you an Angel sent by God when he couldn't be there?"
Thinking very carefully about this I'm not sure a four year old would be mentally aware to think, let alone say this.

Ways around this: make the boy older or simplify the line. (Or leave it be, it's just an opinion!!)

For me this is the only sticking point in an otherwise well written piece. I honestly enjoyed it. \4/

omg this was so sweet! I loved this poem awesome job!!!Keep up the great work

Good. I like. :)

The only thing is, I thought it was too much of a story instead of a poem, and the poetic beauty and nature is a bit absent.. but that's just my opinion...

this line:

"Are you an Angel sent by God when he couldn't be there?"

was a bit tough to plow through.. it lacked the easy flow that was in the preceding lines. I think I saw the same problem in

"A voice whispered "Don't worry, in heaven we'll meet again"

....really, overall I thought it was quite good, although the long-winded, story-format isn't really my style...

keep writing!! :)

Usually, I don't partake in this story-line poetry, but this was an exception.
My eyes were stinging through it, it was an honorable and heart wrenching piece that portrayed the heros that have earned just the praise you have written through this work. It was so lovely, the way you detailed the feeling through the piece of the images pictured of a frightened child and angel-like hero taking the stand and triumphantly giving his life for the sake of others. These lines just left me heart-felt and emotional
"The little boy understood,
Even at the tender age of four
That his angel had gone back to God
And was knocking at Heaven's door"
i also loved the last line,
...A voice whispered "Don't worry, in heaven we'll meet again"
It creates the aspect of hope and anticipation to gratitude and honor of the reader. Beautiful job, (and this is more praise than it sounds considering I very rarely appreciate this style-poetry, but anyways, beautifully done.)

*gratitude and honor of the savios/angel-like hero...sorry

I'm pretty sure I have to wipe a tear or two away from my eye for this one. This was beautiful. I love how you compared the firefighter to an angel. Its so true. On that day, and every other day, they really are angels. My dad was a firefighter for 25 years and recently retired, and I know how hard he tried to save everyone who needed saving. They're so dedicated to people they don't even know. You portrayed this story, and the complete willingness, and selflessness that firefighters possess. Wonderful poem.

passes out... GREAT

Amazing! Someone who can rhyme, yet still say what they mean! That's just great. All I can say.
