Keep Your Promises





Make your life a masterpiece. Imagine no limitations on what you can be, have, or do.  ~Brian Tracy

Keep Your Promises

I accept your challenge. I will make 
a poem using each of your 
quotes. A snapshot of your life 
in fifth grade, the collection will not be
masterpiece 
and I imagine 
no 
one will appreciate the poems as much as you. The limitations 
I have put on 
myself with these poems will show you that what 
you 
challenge yourself to do can 
be 
done. You have 
to keep your promises. There is no either/or
do what you said you would do.

  2. I am so fond of Golden Shovel poems, but they are SO hard. I love the way you're challenging yourself AND your kids!
