Yeah, basically I can only echo Claudette, Cadmium and CK Lynn; This was rather cliche and didn't really have much depth or substance. I really didn't get much out of it. There's nothing wrong with simplicity; in fact often the most simple poetry is some of the most beautiful. Still, even if the message is simple, the poem needs powerful imagery, original phrases... Something to make it stand out. To make it not sound like a Hallmark card, as Cadmium put it. I'm sorry if this sounds unnecessarily harsh, I'm only trying to be constructive.
There was nothing wrong with the poem's subject matter; It was refreshing to read poem that wasn't "emo." In fact, I wrote a sonnet with a similar theme for a Shakespeare class I took once; I tried to take a familiar theme and portray it in a unique way. See if you could do that with this.
Keep writing and posting! ^_^
