I had <i>A Child's Garden of Verses</i> and I think the poem you quote may have been in it.<br /><br />As to which poems have stayed with me... I may use that as an inspiration for a blog post! <br /><br />By the way, thank you for visiting my blog and I love your background!fairyhedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141089706966852951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020468150190614824.post-29499507722967697982010-04-13T12:45:20.111-04:002010-04-13T12:45:20.111-04:00Love it.

(It's one of those things I hope to find out in the great beyond on some big tote board of "Your Earthly Stats.") But I love, love, love swinging myself, so I never minded doing it. And I think you're right about life swinging between extremes. It does always seem that there's always too much going on or not enough going on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704845146768729518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020468150190614824.post-77579097782495186642010-04-12T22:31:07.195-04:002010-04-12T22:31:07.195-04:00Lovely poems and inspiration!
