I was 16 years old when I first read this poem in 1961,10th grade, in our school library. I immediately thought this poem was a beautiful poem and meditated on its meaning. When I went home and told various members of my family about this poem, they thought I was being Morbid. A couple years later I made mention of this poem that stayed with me to another member of my family, who also thought I was morbid. 10 years after first reading this poem, I lost my 3 1/2 yr old son to a drowing at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park and I immediately thought of this poem which I immediately had placed on his headstone. Suddenly, everyone saw the beauty in this poem that I had seen at 16. He passed away almost 36 years ago and strangers still put flowers on his grave occasionally. I believe this poem has brought comfort and healing to many people who pass his grave site when burying or visiting one of their own. I believe GOD brought me to this poem for a reason and I am grateful for having found it.
