When I first read this poem many decades ago, I dismissed it as simplistic and maudlin. Later, down the arches of the years, I celebrate its directness and honesty

Before any of you decide to comment this poem, may I suggest some English classes? I'm only 16 years old, and I've found more grammatical errors in these few comments than in my five year old nephews whole two years of speaking. Thanks!
