This document contains a poem titled "Follower" by Irish poet Seamus Heaney. The poem describes the speaker's father working a horse-drawn plow on their farm. As a child, the speaker wanted to grow up to plow like his father but could only follow in his father's shadow around the farm. Now, the roles are reversed and it is the father who stumbles and follows behind the speaker, unable to let go. The document provides background on Seamus Heaney and identifies the poem as a tribute to parents for the love and care they provide.
