Sent by a new cousin:

ARE YOU REALLY YOU?

My Grandma says
I've Daddy's nose.
Before I came
He'd two I s'pose?

She always adds,
"And what is more,
You've Mother's eyes" -
Did she have four?

They say I've got
My mouth and chin
>From Grandma's husband:
Benjamin!

He died before
I came, you see -
And must have willed
Them both to me!

I understand
About my hair,
For Daddy's head
Is kind of bare.

But what I'd like
To really know -
What puzzles me
And tries me so . . .
Is - Am I just
Some odds and ends,
Parts of my relatives
And friends?

Or do you think
That it can be
There's something left
That's really ME?
