I wrote my first poem at the age of seven and showed it to my mother. She read and cried, “Buddy, you really wrote a beautiful poem!”

Shyly but_______, I said yes. She poured out her praise. “It was _______ short of talent!”

“What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to_______my work to him. I spent quite some time_________for his arrival. I wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting, drew a fancy border around it and_______I placed it right on my father’s plate on the dining table. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. I was sure he would be able to_______my poem.

At almost 7 o'clock my father burst in. He seemed upset. He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees.

Suddenly he paused and _______his plate. “What is this?” He was reaching for my poem.


“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began. “And it’s beautiful, absolutely amaz…”

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide for myself.” Father said.

I_______my head as he read that poem. It was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. Then I heard him dropping the poem back on the table. Now came the moment of_______.“I think it’s terrible,” he said. I couldn’t look up. My eyes were getting________.“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs encouragement.”

“I don’t know why.” My father held his________. “Isn’t there enough awful poetry in the world already?”

I couldn’t________it another second. I ran from the dining room crying. Up in my room I________myself on the bed and cried the worst of the________out of me.

That may have been the end of the story, but not of its________for me. I realized how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who drove me to hear with “I think it’s________.”

Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all________flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete. It needs the balance of the force that ________, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”

Those________voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing winds blowing me. Between the two poles of ________and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course.
