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?
