A place away from darkness
Where your mind can feed.
And for myself I’ve kept your smile
When you were but nineteen,
Till you’re older you’ll not know
What brave young smiles can mean.
I know no answers
To help you on your way
The answers lie somewhere
At the bottom of the day.
But if you’ve a need for love
I’ll give you all I own
It might help you down the road
Till you’ve found your own.

Post- writing
A parent is a parent though not perfect.
As we’ve already learned, there are various reasons why people write poetry and poets use many different forms of poems to express themselves. Nursery rhymes have strong rhythm and rhyme and have a lot of repetition. Some of the list poems repeat phrases and some rhyme while others do not. Both cinquain and haiku are short but they can give you a clear picture. The translations of Tang poems have a free form. “I’ve saved the summer” expresses a parent's love to a child.
