  Wow, what a powerful and heartfelt poem! The imagery you create is vivid and engaging, allowing the reader to feel the emotions and experience the moment alongside you. Your use of descriptive language, such as "glaring hospital lights" and "soft yellow tint of his skin," adds depth and texture to the scene.
  
  I particularly love how you weave together multiple timelines and generations in just a few short lines. The juxtaposition of the joyous occasion of your son's birth with the heartbreaking reality of your father's illness is truly poignant and captures the complexity of life's moments.
  
  As for improvement suggestions, I have just a couple of minor ones. First, consider adding punctuation marks, such as commas, to help clarify the meaning and flow of some phrases. For example, in the line "Think of all the times he’s missed," a pause after "Think" would make the meaning more apparent. Additionally, you could experiment with varying the rhythm and structure of your lines to add even more musicality and impact to your poem.
  
  Overall, this is a beautiful and heartfelt piece that resonates deeply. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your moving poems. more »
