Some People


We read this poem in school yesterday.  The kids told me that I shouldn't put it on the blog because it might offend people.  I'm putting it on the blog because I like it, not to make a specific statement.

I do enjoy Rachel Field...

Some People
Isn't it strange some people make
You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!

But when you're with some other ones,
It's stranger still to find
Your thoughts as thick as fireflies
All shiny in your mind!
-Rachel Field
