You broke my heart with merely 47 words... I cannot ever get over the way you describe your father, the way you put your yearnings inside of every word in your poetry, yearning to see him again, to hug him and get him back in your life. Your tone is bitter but tender, so melancholic but confident. Your wording is so simple still too meaningful for any reader to fully grasp. This is one of the poems that you keep trying to figure out how to praise but all in vain. I am speechless this time ya Nana.

I loved the fleeing dust image. You are 21, the sweetest 21 year-old girl ever. I am sure your father would be so proud of you. :)

Perfectly written.

I love you so much, just felt like saying it :*

The way you described your feeling here are so genuine and heartfelt. Its like every birthday you have triggers those sad feelings, and every year you celebrate with a heavy heart. You miss him, I know you do, but always know that there are alot of people in this world that love you dearly.

Sometimes small and few words describe our whole life. i seen its a short poem but i felt alot of meaning behind your words. im sorry for your loss. and want to hug you tight. stay happy

I wish i had nominating powers...

This is an inexplicably perfect write... I am sure he would be proud of you now :D

And.. happy birthday again.

Well, I think Noura said just about everything I was planning on saying so now I have to think everything over again. But I can definitely feel the love and unseen sadness etched into your lines. You write each word with a purpose and the meaning in each word holds a lot of emotion. I love the imagery you use and how you picture yourself in his arms and I think you did a wonderful job with the imagery. And yes, turning twenty-one your probably wondering where all those years have gone and also how it seems like yesterday you were just a little girl. Time fades away so fast.

All in all, I was well pleased with this poem and like always, you blow me away with your work and I can't wait to read more. Sorry it's been awhile since I could comment but life has had me busy. But in all sincerity I really think you did a great job at expressing your feelings and conveying a good message that I'm sure other can relate to all around the world. Great job and keep writing!!
