&quot;Just a reminder to all of you...we&#039;re all the same. <br /> No matter what someone may think or what your opinion is, or what someone else&#039;s opinion is of you... We are all equal, we all cry, we all bleed, we all get lost sometimes, we all wish we were someone else, wish we could be somewhere else and dream of the perfect life.<br /> The role of a human is to go day by day to make a better life for themself to acheive their goals and make their dreams come true. So I accept each and every one of you out there. NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE.&quot;<br /> -Drew Ryan Scott<br /> <br /> ...

I love this poem, as I too studied Haiku in college, this has more meaning, as life in the past and present is filled with the past. She is my granddaughter, so naturally she's the best!!!! G-Pa Ron

 l love haikus because of the way they catch you off gaurd with such little words... I liked the symbolism in this... relating a person to a page of a book.... please check out "I do like Lady Gaga- a response to I don't like Lady Gaga" and also... nice job girls marblehead swim team for being the state champions this year...
