spoke like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child;
when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

But when I got to be 21,
I was astonished at how much
the old man had learned in seven years.

A
Son's Letter to His Dead Father
Dear Dad:
I am writing this to you, though you have been dead for
thirty years.
From your seat in the place beyond I hope you can see
these lines. I feel I must say some things to you, things
I didn't know when I was a boy in your house, and things
I was too stupid to say.
It's only now, after passing through the long, hard
school of years; only now, when my own hair is gray, that
I understand how you felt.
I must have been a bitter trial to you. I was such an ass.
I believed my own petty wisdom, and I know now how
ridiculous it was, compared to that calm, ripe, wholesome
wisdom of yours.
Most of all, I want to confess my worst sin to you. It
was the feeling I had that you ;"did not understand"
When I look back over it now, I know that you did
understand. You understood me better then I did myself.
Your wisdom flowed around mine like the ocean around an
island.
And how patient you were with me! How full of long
suffering and kindness
And how pathetic, it now comes home to me, were your
efforts to get close to me, to win my confidence, to be
my pal!
I wouldn't let you. I couldn't. What was it held me aloof?
I don't know. But it was tragic - that wall that rises
between a boy and his father, and their frantic attempts
to see through it and climb over it.
I wish you were here now, across the table from me, so
that I could tell you how there's no wall anymore; I
understand you now, Dad, and, God! how I love you and
wish I could go back and be your boy again.
I know now how I could make you happy everyday. I know
how you felt.
Well, it won't be long , Dad, til I am over, and I
believe you'll be the first to take me by the hand and
help me up the further slope.
And I'll put in the first thousand slopes or so making
you realize that not one pang or yearning you spent on me
was wasted. It took a good many years for this prodigal
son -and all sons are in a measure prodigal- to come to
himself, but I've come, I see it all now.
I know that the richest, most priceless thing on earth,
and the thing least understood, is that mighty love and
tenderness and craving to help which a father feels
toward his boy. For I have a boy of my own.
And it is he that makes me want to go back to you, and
get down on my knees to you.
Up there somewhere in the Silence, hear me, Dad, and
believe me.
