Poem #10 Mother, May I Go In To Swim?

Mother, May I Go In To Swim?

Mother, may I go in to swim?
Yes, my darling daughter,
Hang your clothes on yonder tree
But don't go near the water.

'Mother, May I Go In To Swim?' pg 202 from 'Best Loved Nursery Rhymes And Songs'

I want to know what you think.

I just wanted to thank everyone for everything they've done for or with me (i'll think of more)

All of My Favorite Bands ~ All of them are Christian and have helped me through a lot and also just make me happy or think about my life--Thank you Switchfoot, Relient K, Barlowgirl, Skillet, Remedy Drive, Superchic[k], and Lifehouse
Animals and all of my pets, past and present ~ You always listened and understood me. You made me feel special and loved and I loved all of you guys! Even though my present dog killed probably over half of you, I still love my dog and I still miss you who've passed on
Cassie ~ You are so awesome! I've always admired you, at least since I met you, plus, I love your hair. Thanks for being a great friend, i love how you are friends with everyone!
Courtney ~ ahh! You are my crazy friend, but I still love you! Thanks for staying true to yourself! and for being my friend still
Emily ~ You are so great, you're always there for me! You make me smile every day I see you, that's right, SMILE!
God ~ Thank You for all of the people, animals and the land and beauty and mostly your Son and what He did for us. I love You, and help me love You more every day and help me to love Your people, too
Grandma ~ I love you so much Grandma. Keep fighting, you always were a fighter. I especially appreciate all of the stories you've told me and again, I love you so much ♥
Grandpa C.~ I love you! You always share awesome stories and pictures and lunches with me. Thank you so much, I love you so so much! ♥
Hannah H ~ I don't know where to start. I can't thank you enough, you probably don't even know how much you've helped me, but be assured that you have. You're always there for me, I hope I can repay you some how some day, you are an incredible person, and don't you ever, EVER, forget it. :)
Hannah L ~ You are so awesome, you helped me by letting me help you. And you blessed me with the chance to bring you to your first concert! It was awesome, I'm so glad you came :)
Hannah Miner ~ For being one of my first and best friends, we have to get together some time soon and do something :)
Joram ~ You are the greatest big brother, thanks for always (or almost always) playing with me when we were younger and just thank you
Kenzie ~ You gave me an awesome b-day card! You remind me of my aunt!
Mom ~ I can't even begin, and I don't think it will end either, just thank you for everything
My Aunts and Uncles and Cousins ~ I love you guys so much! I think all of you have helped in some way to shape me, and I love being with all of you
My Teachers Past and Present ~ You taught me. What more can I say? Some of you inspired me, too. Thank you.
My Whole Grade ~ We'll be class of 2012! All of you, even the kids new this year and in 7th grade, have had an impact on my life. Not all positive, but it was good for the most part. (I think that all of you, and everyone else in the world too, should read the book 13 Reasons Why, because that book truly illustrates the impact people have on others, sadly this book's about negative impacts, but it's all the more important because of that) I do want to thank all of you, because I was a new kid once, even though most of you don't seem to know/remember that, and you all welcomed me in. I'm still surprised I made so many friends when I hardly talked at all. Thank you guys so much, and let's try to /not/ blow up the world when we graduate, okay?
Rachel ~ What can I say? You've cared about me and are always concerned and willing to listen. Thank you, I love you like a sister I never had
Sonja ~ You are a great friend, practically always laughing and smiling about something (mischievous?). I am sorry for how horrible I was to you in grade school, please forgive me?
Vicki ~ You're like my newest friend! You are awesome and thanks for actually being my friend, cuz I am not the most outgoing person
Vinz ~ I had to put you on here, at least for occupying my time and being a pretty good friend and listening to me drone on and on and on..., hopefully we'll stay friends
Whitney ~ You were my best friend for a long time, you went to camp with me when no one else would! Do you remember? We went horseback riding, and I think you rode the lead horse. I just wanted to thank you because, well, idk, we were best friends and even though we've both changed I still..idk..maybe it's cuz I never told you thanks, and now's my chance.

(((Ongoing))) Wish List <:-) ♥
