Collin Raye - Love Me
I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I love your Grandma so.
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said :
"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me."
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her, his eyes fill up with tears
"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me."

Good morning Mrs Ong, Mr Ng, teachers and my fellow schoolmates. I am Jessica See from class 4E3 representing the monitor board to share my reflections on current affairs, which is Singapore’s recent bid of hosting the Youth Olympic Games in 2010. Singapore has beaten 8 other countries to host the YOG. Singaporeans were ecstatic as this is the closest Singapore can get to hosting a global sporting event.
About 3500 young athletes age between 14 to 18 would be competing in our country. Singapore’s best young athletes would have the rare and honorable opportunity to represent Singapore to challenge the others, with the advantage on competing on Singapore soil.
Our government has done plenty to ensure that this event would be a success, for example spending 600million US dollars to build the Youth Olympic Village. Also, the government has organized a few programmes to involve other students.
Singaporeans from all over had done a lot in supporting the campaign of Singapore’s dream turn reality to host the Youth Olympic Games. For example, the founder of 77th Street hired people to design and distribute car decals bearing the YOG slogans. Singaporeans overseas also helped by setting up online social networking websites to support Singapore in her bid. This shows that Singaporeans, when united as one, can achieve things that others would only think of as a dream. This thus brings me to my point that when united as a class, you would also be able to overcome any obstacles and achieve big things.
I hope that Singapore would grab this chance to showcase to the world our talents and I once again congratulate Singapore for winning the bid to host the Worlds 1st ever Youth Olympic Games in 2010. All the best, Singapore!
Thank you for your kind attention.
