Reflection on the First Snowfall

This poem was a very sad poem.  The poet did a really good job of explaining his feelings without giving the overall subject away.  This poem reflects to my life because my parents lost a child.  My sister, Kelsey was only three years old when she passed away.  In this poem the writer lost his daughter and explained how he felt and the things that he was going through.  My parents are always going to have that emptiness in their heart for my sister, just like the writer has for his lost daughter.  Unfortunatly tragic things happen, and sometimes their for worse and sometimes for the best.  My parents have learned to keep living their lives and showing her glory through me, like in the story the writer said that he kisses his other daughter as if it were to his lost daughter.  This was one of saddest poems I have ever read.
