Waterwings by Cathy Song (2)

I found the author to be very motherly in this poem. I felt warm by her maternal emotions towards her child.She was like the typical parent who misses their child once he or she goes off on their own. The poem made me put myself in her position if I were a father. Even though in the poem it was about her son, who was five or older, I imagine how I would react when my child leaves me.
