I think that this poem gave off the mood that it did because of the way that each stanza tells a story of the father. Instead of just describing what the father was like, the author used a story to make the reader see in context the father's traits that were so lovable. This makes the reader have a better connection to the father. They are able to better relate to a story and think of their own fathers in the same way.
It also brings up an interesting question about something I have never really thought about: what would I think of my father if he was a stranger? Would we be able to notice those things about our own father? I think the theme of this poem is not just the author loving the father but being able to see people's characteristics from the things they do. Not just seeing the outward act but seeing the deeper meaning behind their thinking. Then, in a way, the poem is showing that we love people for who they are on the inside and necessarily just the outward meanings they have for us.
I really like this poem because my dad is one of my favorite people in the world and I love him a lot!
