This piece by Yehuda Amichai is well written and full of literary elements. What he is saying in this poem is that God has pity for children and true lovers. As for adults, “he pities not at all (Amichai).” I like the message the poem delivers about caring for truly genuine individuals. This is just something that most people are taught as they grow up, like myself. The line that reads “perhaps even we will spend on them Our last pennies of kindness”, as it demonstrates the extremes people are willing to go for loved ones (Amichai).
