I think this poem is about a mother and her child. This poem makes me feel sad because the mother lives in the streets. Maybe the mother lives on the streets because she does not have any monny. And maybe she does not have a job. I do not feel a connection with this poem and me because I am not poor. I have monny and a home.

I think the poem is about a mom and a baby that are poor and have no where to go. I think the woman had a house but she didn’t have any money to pay for it so she had no where to go with her baby and that’s what I think. The poem makes me feel sad because someone with out a house is tuff. I have seen some body like her on a brige and his face looked very sad and I think that’s how she looks.
