Splendid piece.... wonderful. Thanks for sharing in the end
this poem reminds me my childhood too...of hearing stories...that had morals....i am simply awestruck sir.....but at times i feel every life is a battle...and every worthy son a casabianca.....and every father wants his son to obey him till he is alive to command but at the same time i feel every father expects his son to take his commanding position once he's left the world.....and take the charge to lead the battle, to win and to complete his unfulfilled task....when i was a child i always thought young Casabianca should have understood these unsaid commands of his father ......for the world needs such determined souls to lead not follow.
you bring bac so many memories of childhood, being instructed, and adviced.........bt sure parents are blessings, that we humans need in any and evry age of our life........butiful poem, a lovely tribute indeed......... regards ghazala
