Answer 1

The poet brings out the image of spilling children to establish a contrast between old age and youth. This contrast is signified by the two important phases of life, which are the beginning (childhood) and the end (old age). The image of spilling children represents the beginning of life and the ending of the journey of life is represented by the mother, who is at an old age in the twilight years of her life.
