I appreciate the form and the structure of the poem, because while it sets out a guideline of sorts of what a father should, or at least, aspire to, this poem is also left open ended, in both its first and last lines. It seems to be a gentle advice of sorts, rather than an enforced set of rules that one must abide by. That component is what I found so ethereal and beautiful about this piece.
