It really doesn’t matter
where he sleeps at night
It really doesn’t matter
if he loves to fight
It really doesn’t matter
whether he’s happy or he’s sad
It really doesn’t matter
whether the doctors think he’s mad
It doesn’t really matter
If he changed his name
It doesn’t really matter
If he’s not the same
It wouldn’t really matter
If he were deaf, or if he couldn’t see
Nothing matters more
Than the fact that he’s family

Jo, this poem is excellent. It’s really well put together, and it flows well. I loved the rhyming and especially the theme. The ending was really good.

i love you so much.
things will get better and you will be fine.
It is hard now but things will look up.
This poem is well written. It helps you
get things off your mind and lets you
express your emotions. It is good that
you realize no matter what he is family.
I loved the words they went well together.

This poem works so well because the rhyming seems to flow, it doesn’t seem forced. You did a great job making the reader want more, I think I read this like 5 times before i commented it. This poem is really well written and the emotion behind it is real and personal. Well done Jo.
