whitman poem

i liked the part where he talks about how much we get from our parents. this is so true. i always wonder how much i am like either of my parents, how much of either of them is me. and i always end up thinking that sometimes it can go either way. it can either be a good thing or a bad thing. like i feel its a good thing that i got my creativity from my mom but i feel sometimes its not so good that i got my stubbornness from my dad. but either way my brother and sisters and i are all like continuations of out parents and we all have different parts of them that we carry on in life.
