Walt Whitman's Connection to Children

I connect with this poem that Whitman wrote, and it made sense to me. When children are young, they do not have any worldly problems to worry about such as money, jobs, and raising a family. All they do is live life the way they see it. When I was a young kid, nothing really worried me. When I saw something I wanted to do, I did it with no hesitation. What I think Whitman is trying to say in this poem is that kids have a very simple mind, which makes them into whatever they see.
