Those winter Sundays

This poem seems to hold somewhat of a general central theme. It seems to me it could be taken a few different ways. First off the obvious approach would be to take the “father” figure to be the speaker’s father which makes sense however it doesn’t exactly explain the Sunday part of the poem. It is plausible, however, Sunday is a day associated with God and the father, in that case, would obviously be God. I think that maybe some of both of these could be the more correct interpretation. Perhaps the father is the father of the speaker but the speaker sees him as a higher power in the same way the speaker sees God. In this case the Sunday morning is just enough of a hint to give this type of identity to the father without making it seem as if the father figure is only God and nothing more. Hopefully of this is in the cone of reason. The tone of this poem seems to be somewhat reserved however it sends a clear message that whoever the father is or is representing he is underappreciated.
