Well to be honest there were not a ton of things in this poem that I really connected with, as I don't walk to school, so that kind of bothered me. But besides that the one thing that I really connected with was how he described how " he that had father'd him and she that had conceiv'd
him in her womb and birth'd him,
They gave this child more of themselves than that,
They gave him afterward every day, they became part of him."
I think this really reflects how my parents have affected my life. Yeah they gave birth to me, but they have done so much more than that. All of my mannerisms, my attitude towards things, and even some parts of my personality are what they because of how much they have influenced me just by what they put an emphasis on. They put a real emphasis, on school, music, and overall just being healthy and doing what you enjoy doing and pursuing your goals. And by that way, they have become a part of me that is invaluable to me and something I am eternally grateful for.
