Poem Connection

This poem means to me that this child is what he is surrounded by. He grows up to be what he has always known. Everything around him influences him in some way and a piece of every surrounding is left in him as he grows up.  The poem first talks about nature, then a school, his parents, the streets, the houses, and then nature again.  I think that he's talking about how a child grew up. First he was a baby and one with nature all cool and calm, Then he grew up and started going to school.When he was old enough to be disciplined for his actions by his parents he was let out into the streets to buy his own house. And at the end he retires and is cool and calm again with nature.  This poem connects to my life becasue everyone goes through life without taking it for granted, and in this poem the boy takes little things and connects them to his life as he grows up.
