I interpret this poem as a metaphor for life. Way too often we are in a hurry to get through the "dance" that we do not stop and enjoy the music. The small but beautiful things in life are the music. The rain‚ the sunsets‚ our children growing are all wonderful things that happen. Unfortunately‚ the majority of the time we are all in a hurry just to get through the day to make it another day to do the same thing. We need to take the time to slow down and look around and appreciate those small

Looking at the poem‚ "The Parable of the Old Man and the Young" by Wilfred Owen for the first time‚ I was reminded of the story in the bible where Abram is told to sacrifice his son.

Metaphor for life There are an infinite number of ways for a person to describe their life. I think the best way is to use a metaphor. Many different metaphors can be used to explain an individual’s world. Anything can be used as a comparison‚ from trees to furniture.
