The poem that stood out to me the most was "The Lanyard" by Billy Collins. This poem caught my attention quite easily, due mostly to the fact that it is a poem I can easily relate to. I think that as children most people don't realize how much their mom has given them. It is a debt that is enormous. However, when we are young we think our little gestures can fulfill that debt. "I was as sure as a boy could be that this useless worthless thing I wove out of boredom would be enough to make us even". I can remember doing something similar for my mom when I was younger and this is why this poem stood out to me so much.

I think it is cool that you grew up on a dairy farm. I have always wanted to see one because of the shows I have watched about them like Only in America with Larry the Cableguy. I used to do four H as a kid and still participate in the fair.
