Whose Child is This? -by Anonymous
Whose Child is This?
             -Anonymous
“Whose child is this?” I asked one day
Seeing a little one out at play
“Mine”, said the parent with a tender smile
“Mine to keep a little while
To bathe his hands and comb his hair
To tell him what he is to wear
To prepare him that he may always be good
And each day do the things he should”
“Whose child is this?” I asked again
As the door opened and someone came in
“Mine”, said the teacher with the same tender smile
“Mine, to keep just for a little while
To teach him how to be gentle and kind
To train and direct his dear little mind
To help him live by every rule
And get the best he can from school”
“Whose child is this?” I ask once more
Just as the little one entered the door
“Ours” said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
And each took the hand of the little child
“Ours to love and train together
Ours this blessed task forever.”

(d) At first, the parent and teacher see themselves as responsible for the child in their own way, and so they say “Mine”. But at the end, they acknowledge that the child belongs to both of them and that they work together to care for and teach the child, and so they say “Ours”.
(e) The speaker repeatedly asks, “Whose child is this?” This question expresses curiosity and concern about the identity and care of the child observed at play. It serves as a prompt for exploring the roles of both parents and teachers in a child’s life.

(f) The first two stanzas of the poem illustrate temporary guardianship through the repeated acknowledgment by both the parent and teacher that their roles are to care for the child for “a little while”. This phrase shows that while they have an important influence on the child’s development, their time with the child is limited. It emphasizes that children will eventually grow and become independent individuals.
