The poet’s feelings of great admiration for and love of his mother are evident throughout the poem. The opening line with its succession of superlatives‚ ’most near’‚ ’most dear’ and ’most loved’‚ and straight way attests strongly to these feelings. His exuberant exclamation near the end of the poem‚ ’and so I send O all my faith and all my love to her...’confirms the strength of these feelings. The warm‚ humorous‚ delightfully frank way Baker describes his ’irresistible’ mother in the intervening

In the book‚ “Strength to Love”‚ Martin Luther King Jr. said “ The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience‚ but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” In other words‚ a person’s character is defined by how they respond at a time of despair‚ hurt‚ and struggle and not how a person acts and what they stand for at a time of peacefulness and luxury.
