Nice poem. It was very sad and meaningful.
The flow was off..the wording wasn't too good ither. On the second line of the second stanza you put "good time" I think you meant to put "good times" and on the third line of the second stanza it should be "grandchildren" not "grandchild" because on the next line you said "ALL got to sleep over" so that means it's suppose to be plural. Well I just wanted to point those two out.
Anyway enough of the criticism... I love the simplicity of the poem and how it has such meaning to it and how it captures the reader(me). I liked the first line too, I don't know why but it just got me lured into it. This poem also had a good bit of emotion too. Good job and sorry for the long comment.
Ok. Make you change could into couldn't.
"I'm sorry I could be
there when you went"
Ok number 2 to me, personally, it's a great poem. I'm not usually the type to do this but it's almost like my poems. Kinda rushed. Put a little more info in it. ANyway great job 5/5
