Lesson Comments

This is a wonderful poem celebrating fatherhood. Most of us will never know the anguish a parent experiences when placing their children in potential danger. Hamer makes the point admireably.

it's an excellent poetic expression- Noises that usually woke me from rest afraid of monsters.........//
