Never been great with poetry but almost feels like a father made the kid proud, the kid the later has a kid, thinking of when it was him and his father. Maybe father passed away?

Either way, truly good written words can be intrepeted different ways.

@JustMeAndYou77: this is a great poem, im not really good with poetry meanings, i havent written a new poem in a while...

yes, well written. i do agree.

ok guys n gals.... i cant wait any longer for justme so guess what?

you have all just read a poem that i had written and sent to poetry.com in 07! this poem won me an award and my dear friend justmeandyou found it.
the meanings (yes plural) of this poem i hold dear. i had left california in 02. i love and miss my father very much. my son Damian was born in 07 and i saw myself in my son and i saw my father in me. i wish my dad could see me now but hes 2200 miles away. i had built a life. i had built a family.

so its meanings are: the reversal of roles from son to father. feeling what he felt when i was a baby. the homesick feelings i had. the wishing dad could meet his grandson. and the sadness i felt.

thank you all for voting that this was a great poem.

Dayum anonymous, yes! This is the deeper hidden meaning thanks! Brats came very close because she pointed out that this poem is about the close inspirational and even mentoring relationship between father and son. And, how close that bond still is after there's a separation between them...after the son leaves to start a life of his own. Youve nailed it as far as depth. You captured the fact that there is a generation of father son bonding happening here! The bond repeats itself and also reminds the author of how precious and similar the relationship he now has with his own son truly is to the one he once had with his father :)

Hi james and thanks for visiting this thread and Im glad you like it! :) I will be revealing the author of the poem now. And then he can give you a summary of what it's about from his own inspiration.

Um, excuse me Mr blabbermouth lol Im just chopped damn liver lmao Anyways, yes! This is a poem which was written by Paul himself. One of our own dating.mobi members :) He asked me to post the poem here since it's

not possible to copy and paste from the website through many mobile phones. I used the comp to do this since I am not able to through my phone either. Thank you for joining in on the fun and the picking apart of a great poem! I was happy to do the thread and glad it was enjoyable :)

Well to me it seemed pretty obvious at one point it was talking about 3 people. Though at times I tend to over think things, and I miss a lot of hidden meanings. Though either way well written and yeah he blabbed before you could LOL

@anonymoususer321: LOL Ya he did. But he was extremely excited about getting it posted for everybody so I figured he would. Going to bed for a few hours really put the pressure on him lool
