Warm Summer Sun
I was unsure what this poem was talking about so i looked it up, and it said he wrote this as a eulogy to his daughter after she died. It is wrote on her tombstone.
In this poem he is saying goodbye to his neice that he had just lost. He says that they will meet again, but till then he will hold a place for her in his heart.

His family was in debt since he was little, so they was having troubles paying the yearly bills
