    • Metaphor 'where dried-up hankies fell in love'
      • The hanky could be a motif for age and youth in this verse.Mothers will eventually leave their children behind and become 'dried up' of youth and age.
      • It could also show how mothers play a significant role in keeping the family unit as 'love' is portrayed to be the reason why family unity is significant.Mothers keep that 'love' stable in the family.
    • Nostalgic tone ''hanky's loss' 'dancing shool' 'stumbling' 'painted'
      • All of these create a nostalgic tone to the poem as they reinforce youth and purity.You won't relly be 'stumbling' as an adult and the 'loss' hints change.Almost a 'loss' in unity'
    • Shift to modern tone 'girdles' and 'you'd never find today in malls'
      • change in time symboises how motherhood changes ovr time in society and how it is percieved in society today.The powem may also be about how motherhood is consdered in society and not just te trasniiton of passing on fundamnetal and materialistic items to you family
