All Comments on 'A Mother's Years'

Annie, I like the poem overall, but I am confused by some of the phrases like "Flaxen haired son as he kneels on the bed giggles and laughs no sleepy eyed child" and the phrase with "pride guarantees flaxen haired..."

Am I just really confused? Maybe it needs some commas to improve comprehension? You're missing a few hyphens, but that's an easy fix.

Line breaks can be used in place of punctuation and your line breaks work fairly well, but the poem could use another comma here and there. Still, it's a good piece.
