A long needed break,
Full of sunshine and laughter,
And cool breezes,
That blow away sweat and worries.

Other siblings still have school,
Ha, Ha, Ha,
No sadness is felt,
For the lack of school oriented obligations.

My baby sister,
Heads off to her first day of Kindergarten,
And is the Heidi Klum of her hallway,
Walking with a confidence so many people would die for.

Time is spent splashing and wading,
In the pool on a cool, boiling day,
True, everything has to end sometime,
But certain things we have the joy of reliving.

&quot;Ichigo, what&#039;s the difference between a King and his horse? I don&#039;t mean kiddy s*** like &#039;One&#039;s a person and one&#039;s an animal&#039; or &#039;One has two legs and one has four&#039;. If their form, ability, and power were exactly the same, why is it that one becomes the King and controls the battle, while the other becomes the horse and carries the King?! There&#039;s only one answer; INSTINCT!&quot; ~ Ichigo&#039;s Inner Hollow from the anime/manga &#039;Bleach&#039; by Tite Kubo

You're right, both of our poems (RE: True Beauty) are quite similar. Also, I really like your poem, and your own comment is very true!
