Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful poem and the letter from Jackson Stark. Oh, the simplicity and deep love expressed by Anne Bradstreet - I will be looking into more of her works.

Of course Delores! Anne Bradstreet has a number of other poems written about her family members and they are all very edifying. She also wrote two short eulogies for her father and mother that show the love and respect she had for her parents. I am kicking around the Idea of doing an Anne Bradstreet family poetry series.
