Poetry Packet

The poem or song that stood out the most to me was the song "Sold" John Michael Montgomery.  The reason this song stuck out to me, was because it was one of my favorite songs from my childhood.  I did not realize it was the song until after I heard it.  When I was little my older sister and I would dance or do gymnastics to this song and perform it for my parents.  Of course, I did not know the correct name for the song.  I always called the blonde hair blue eye song because that is the line that always stuck out to me.  I loved it when the part came up because I had blonde hair and blue eyes and I just thought it was so cool that it mentioned that in the song.

So when listening to the song, I knew it sounded familiar, but I was not sure why.  As soon as I heard him sing "She's got Ruby red lips blonde hair blue eyes and I'm about to bid my heart goodbye" I suddenly remembered dancing and putting on a show for my parents.  I actually got really excited because I just loved that part of my childhood.  At that time it was just my older sister and me, no little brother or sister.  And I loved that.  After hearing the song, I actually had to call my dad to make sure it was the right one and it was.  So of course, I get something a little different out of the song that others might not get.
