Inheritance Revised

I don’t blame
Either of my parents
For what they
Passed down to me.

Mainly because
Most of it
Is some form of
Genetics.

Genetics
Is a fickle thing.
How one child has brown hair, the other
Red.

How one child 
Is short.  The other
Tall as the sky
Itself.

Yet not all traits
Are passed down 
By genetics.  Some by
Inheritance.

Wit, kindness,
Personality, you 
Name it.  Some is nature,
Other is bred.

I've learned the hard way
To be proud of 
What you have, though you may not 
Like it.
