I don't feel like I am quite done. I haven't purged well enough...speaking of purging, I need to eat something...just kidding! I kind of feel a poem coming on...bear with this one because it will be a first draft...lets see...

Growing up is a challenge
That I am not afraid to meet
Life is so very full of lessons
From every person on the street

Okay...looks like this is going to be a rhyming poem...

I wake up each morning,
And every single day,
I am greeted by the thought,
That I have choices to do and say.

Each time I put my socks on
Left and right,
I am reminded of my choices,
From last night.

And during my leisurly walk to school
I think how I'll be okay,
To meet and greet and sing and cry,

ew...gross carrot...

And during my daily walk to school
I think how I can try again
To learn and love and laugh
And keep from driving me insane

Okay...this is not working out...can't write a poem on the computer. I am going to take a momment and write this out by hand and this post it...brb...

Okay, I did it...here it is...in all its cheesey glory...I called it Personal Growth...

Personal Growth

Growing up is a challenge
That I am not afraid to meet
Life is so very full of lessons
From every person on the street

I wake up each morning,
And every single day,
I am greeted by the thought,
That I have choices to do and say.

Each time I put my socks on
First on my left then right,
I am reminded of my choices,
That I may have made last night.

Next, I think I’ll go to school,
So I can learn some more,
Repetition is my enemy,
Bad habits, I abhor.

I smile and greet my neighbors,
As I walk through hall A and B,
I wonder what’s around the corner,
What lesson will I see?

To each of you who read this,
I have some advice to give,
If you can’t look for life’s lessons,
You’ll never learn how to live.

It needs some work on the meter but it is my poem...and I like it. What are your thoughts?
