"There was a child went forth"

"THERE was a child went forth every day,
And the first object he look'd upon, that object he became,
And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of
the day,
Or for many years or stretching cycles of years."

I know that this is the first stanza of the poem, and it is very generic to review the first stanze, but it is the part of the poem that really stuck to me. I think it shows how what goes on around you really affects how you will end up when your older. Just like if you grow up with parents that are very strict about manners, you will eventually have amazing manners. As a child grows up, their main inspiration is their family. A little boy generally looks up to his father and wants to be just like him, because thats all that the kid knows. Or a little girl who is just in awe of her mother, who wants to grow up to have a career in the same thing as her mother. What goes through the household as a child will change the way a kid grows up. This impacts me a lot because i have three siblings and of course i want them to be amazing adults so i try to do anything i can to give them the right impression.
