this poem was acctually written for cummings' father after he passed away in a car accident, so if you didnt know that, it helps to truly understand the poem.

While it is wonderful for people to associate their own fathers with the imagery in this poem, it seems to me that cummings likely intended a more deistic interpretation. Many elements (including the multiple creation metaphors and the capitalization in the final stanza of the word "Father") suggest that, more than an ode to a mortal father, this is a hymn about an eternally existent universal Father breathing redemption and reconciliation into the world.
