The words in this book are so touching, they describe things and feelings that I could not have said any better myself. I was very touched, and so was my son, after read this book.I would definitely recommend reading this, because it is quite an experience! Loved it!

I bought this book for my son. It is a beautiful way to tell your son how much you love him and advised and encouraged him on everything he is planning to do. I recommend it to everyone who has a son and would like to let him know how you feel in a poetic and loving way.

Beautiful. I gave this to a special friend whom I thought would like it. He cried. I cried. The book touches hearts.
