Analysis of What Kind Of Love
What kind of love does a man have
for the offspring
—he will never meet
What kind of love does a man have
for the great-great-grandchildren
—he will never see
What kind of love does a man have
for a future
—beyond his control
What kind of love does a man have
for those distant
—yet present enrolled
