The great thing about a poem like this is how it lends itself to different, but equally valid, interpretations. My take was a young girl expressing her fear of being replaced in her mother's affections by a new man in the mother's life. I loved the last line, which was a beautiful resolution of both the poem and the narrator's struggle with the situation. Wonderful poem!
