"The Girl in the Yellow Bathing Suit"
by Sarah Harmon
Hello there, Princess
in the yellow bathing suit
in a pool as blue as the summer Sky
You are lucky, brown-eyed Girl
in the yellow bathing suit
your life is worry-free
Boys are only friends now
Girls are only Strangers
I wish I were you, happy Memory
in the yellow bathing suit
You do not yet understand
that little Girls grow into women
And someday everything must die
Sorry, youthful Innocent
in the yellow bathing suit
People change like the leaves in Autumn
Hate slips under one's door just like change
And you will learn the hard way
Goodbye, Darling
in the yellow bathing suit
one day it will all make Sense

What I am currently reading: The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall (This is one of my favorite books so I am rereading it.)
In other news: No, Harmon is my middle name, not my last name. If I ever become a published author, I would want my name to be Sarah Harmon. It sounds almost magical to me since "Harmon" is similar to "Harmony", which is why I like it so much. Many times have I attempted to write a poem, but after reading "To The Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up" by Peter L. Fischl (read it here), I knew it was something I would be willing to try again. Have a nice weekend!
