In this sonnet, the speaker again encourages the reader to have children. The imagery used in this sonnet is amazing. Shakespeare simply does not say that someone is old- instead he refers to forty winters besieging one’s brow, “digging trenches in thy beauty’s field.” His use of language is so descriptive and vivid. The message in this poem is also quite inspiring. The speaker believes that having children can add meaning to one’s life. By bringing another person into the world, the reader has made a permanent impact. In a way, having children is a way to live on even after death. A parent is a child’s biggest influence in life, through both genetics and the way a child is raised. As a result, children greatly resemble their parent’s appearance and personality.
