Judi,
This poem made me weep. It is such a sad tribute to what could have been.
Thank you for posting.

Uh... why is this an abstract image? Good shot otherwise... I like the DOF.

5 - Variation in cropping and a slight rotate give this an edge in my opinion - your title may also have 'aided' the impact. Otherwise, I like the abstract here (although undecided on not being able to see the eyes) - could convey a variety of emotions to a viewer. Already mentioned the crop, but the tip of the tongue on the very edge of the frame, if nothing could be done to give some more space around - another reason why a variation in cropping/composition may have 'made use' of that... if that makes sense.
