This is a great poem, but hard to understand if this is a small child or an elderly person. I am doing this for my declamation, so I really need to know! Mainly, I think it can be seen either way. :)

My son is a pediatric oncologist so this poem had great meaning for me. People sometime wonder how a couple can be completely crushed by the death of a small infant. But beside you natural parental love lies thoughts of the future. This child's loss stands for the loss of so much more. Even the muddy feet. A child is not a child. A child is the future.
