This poem has advice from parents to their child, advising the child to be patient. The child wants independence, to be free, to be unrestricted. The parents tell the child that independence comes with more years. The child points out that a lot of friends are given much more freedom than he has. Again, the parents tell the child that the independence will come in a few years.
This repeats several times, as the child gets older. Finally, the parents tell him that the age of 21 is recognized as an adult. Later, their child, now an adult with a child of his own, tells of his child, and how that child wants too much independence for his age. He tells his child what he has learned from his parents. In the end, he thanks his parents for raising him as they did, for their patience and good advice. The parents say that their pay was in seeing the grandchild.
