Vocabulary??

I'm tend to not have a big vocabulary, but when I read words it's either a quote or meaningful poem. My favorite poem I like to read aloud is the poem titled the value of time. I saw this poem in 8th grade in my math teachers room. I looked over at his wall halfway through the year and saw it and loved it ever since. When I look up poems the first thing I look up is either something stupid or something meaningful that will make me cry. There are no certain words that get me hackled up since I don't know that many. I work with babies and live with toddlers so, all I hear is "blah, go-ga, uh" or " over dhere", that could be a reason why I have little vocabulary, haha.
