    Caring between parents and childrenParents and their children create a certain aspect of love that is special to them. This caring part of love is so powerful that it endures after death. An adult needs to have children before he can feel this love. Shakespeare's Sonnet 6 encourages people to have children so that they can experience the caring aspect of love that can last after death. This poem encourages people to save their money for their children by stating: "This use is not forbidden, which brings happiness to those who pay." voluntary loan; it is up to you to beget another” (5-7). This statement suggests that people should not try to earn as much money as they can and spend it on themselves by being selfish in doing so. They should save it for their child. He goes on to explain that people who would have children and save their money for their children would end up being happier because they would feel this love. He says, “Or ten times happier, let it be ten to one, you were ten times happier than you” (8-9). This suggests that if a person had children, they would be ten times happier than if they did not. If people follow these suggestions, the love between a parent and child will grow. The sonnet refers to death by stating, “Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart” (11). This suggests that love will last even after the death of the parent. This calls into question what death will do, as love can prevent death from separating a child from their parent. The parent takes care of the child and, in return, requires the child to take care of their parent. This is the love that death cannot separate. Another suggestion is made when the poem says: “Be not willful for you are far too right... middle of paper ...... states: “Or ten let it be ten times happier for one, you I would be ten times happier than you, if ten of your ten times refigured you” (8-10). This suggests that having children will make the parent ten times happier than if they had no children. Love grows between a child and his parent when the parent takes care of the child. As noted in line 10, having children will refigure the parent. This poem is written to encourage people to have children so that they can experience the loving kindness that can last with the child after the death of the parent. The parent takes care of the child by saving money for their child. Parents should not try to earn all the money they can just so they can spend it on themselves. It's about saving money for the child so that the parent will have something to give when the time comes to leave the world..
