There Was a Child Went Forth

In the first stanza I really relate to "And the first object he look'd upon, that object he became" This is my favorite part of the whole poem because growing up, kids have such a vivid imagination and when they find something that intrigues them they transform into that by mimicing the object. I also like when he talks about the parents becoming part of him, because when I was little I would spend a lot of time around the house with my mom or at work with my dad and I would try to be just like them and do everything they do, and in a way that's carried over into growing up.
