Reading Journal Entry #18

[wintersplash]

Next up is "Those Winter Sundays"by Robert Hayden. I really loved this poem, even though it was quite sad, yet touching at the same time. When i was reading this, i was picturing the father doing all those tasks for his son, and i thought it was really sweet. Reading this poem, i also came to realize that, as a child, we never really noticed or thanked our parents for the little things they did. It is only when we get older that we think back, and remember all those little gestures of love our parents did for us. It really is sad to know that the persona wasn't able to appreciate his fathe before, but it is also touching to know that even though a lot of time already passed by, he still remembered to thank and honor his father for the little things he did for him before.
