Worth the Listen
Donald Gilmore
Learned it is "A chestnut tree" not "THE chestnut tree". Beyond that, as I was listening, it occurred to me that none of the readers truly expressed the emotions and meaning of the last stanza. We are to make something of ourselves on the anvil of life - beating out the imperfections.

I like the poem, but it seems a little silly to have so many readers. I guess you can pick which one you want.
