Granddaughter Kimmy's Poem

One of my Mother's Day gifts was A Celebration of Poets, Michigan and Ohio, Grades 7-9, Fall 2008.

Granddaughter Kimmy's poem is on Page 79 . . .


All I Want

All I want is someone to stop everything
Someone to connect everyone together
All I want is someone to stop everything
Someone to find something in common with us
Someone to stop the difference
All I want is someone to stop everything
Someone to forget the past
Someone not to care what other people think
Someone not to be afraid to say hello
All I want is someone to stop everything
Someone to take a step towards the opposite of them
Someone to find acceptance in everyone
Someone to listen instead of gossip
Someone to stand up for the right reasons
All I want is for everyone to fit in
