HUMANISM

"Good Night, Willie Lee, I'll See You In The Morning"

(Poem)

By Alice Walker

Looking down into my fathers

dead face

for the last time

my mother said without

tears, without smiles

but with civility

"Good night, Willie Lee, Ill see you

in the morning."

And it was then I knew that the healing

of all our wounds

is forgiveness

that permits a promise

of our return

at the end.

Analysis:

In this literary piece, the poem shows a humanist approach. For it gives us the perception of the inner and deeper thoughts of the mother who still forgives his husband and accept him even to his death though the latter had given him many heartbreaks.
