FOR MY SON, by ELIZABETH GREY STEWART First Line: These years have been so very short Last Line: It is so hard to let you go. Subject(s): Comfort | |||
These years have been so very short -- The years when you have clung To me for comfort and support -- And you are still so young, So full of hope, and so untried, I wish that I might save You from the grief to come, and guide You still. But you are brave, And eager. Dear young heart, forgive The many times when I seem slow To learn it is your life to live. It is so hard to let you go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A YOUNG WOMAN DYING by NORMAN DUBIE SECOND TIME AROUND by CAROLYN KIZER LANDRUM'S DINER, RENO by DORIANNE LAUX THE DADDY STRAIN by KAREN SWENSON THE MAD WOMAN'S SONG by KAREN SWENSON A FLORIDA SUNDAY by SIDNEY LANIER |
