The poem is a dialogue between a father and son. The father advises the son to not rush into making changes and to relax and take his time. He tells the son that he is still young and has much to learn. The father reflects on being young like the son and knowing that it's difficult when you've found something meaningful, but to take his time and think things through. The son expresses his frustration at always feeling constrained and wanting to break free, though acknowledges he has to leave eventually. The summary captures the key elements of the father counseling patience to the son and the son feeling constrained but knowing he must go.
