Looking for the Name of a Poem

Hello all,

I understand this is a long shot since it is short on detail, but I am looking for a poem that was read on the Writer's Almanac several years ago. I'm having difficulty remembering specific lines, but the poem was about a father standing over a sleeping child and the child pretending to be asleep so they could absorb the feeling. I believe it describes the parent's presence as a 'blessing.' It is short and written in the third person.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TWA reruns

Subscribe to the reruns at thewritersalmanac.substack.com. I know reruns have been available since at least June 11, 2022 because I have a copy of Still confused about TWA? (substack.com) in my mail archives. Some days mistakes are made. I wonder if G.K. is producing the Substack newsletter all by himself. Does anyone know?

The Writer’s Almanac no longer being produced.

Update from my previous post. I reached out to The Writer’s Almanac who confirmed they are no longer producing new episodes. There is separate confirmation here.

Apparently you can subscribe to a daily newsletter that will email you text and audio of old episodes. Doesn’t seem like there will be a podcast feed of those though, maybe that will change. Seems like it’s the end of the line though. The podcast feed of the most recent version of the show is still up, I will probably just download an old episode or two from there when I need to.

Anyone else having problems downloading new episodes?

The last episode that I was able to download was Sunday, May 30. Nothing on Memorial Day or today. Anyone else having this problem?

Writers Almanac website back online

There aren't any new poems posted since the split, but at least the archive seems to be intact.
