A Recipe for Success

Greet friends with a smile
Let them know they’re the best
Write a note to your teacher
At the bottom of your test

Tell your momma “I love you”
Before you go to bed
And thank your dad for all he does
To make sure that you are fed

Thank God before you eat
For providing you with food
Thank the one who cooked it up
To add some spirit to their mood

Brush your teeth with Crest each day
And don’t forget to floss
It keeps away the tooth decay
And maintains that shiny gloss

Realize each day you have
Is yet an opportunity
To make the world a better place
 - Or your community.

  1. Very cool! Especially the bit about writing notes to teachers on the bottom of tests. Sometimes it's easy to forget they're actual people and have feelings too!

  2. I love how you tied in moral to this poem! Very cleverly done, if you ask me. I think that the teacher note at the bottom of the test was also a very humorous moment, and it reminded me of times when I did that myself. I like that it was a trigger to those times when things were simpler and better understood. The test used to be considered a test, not punishment, at one time.
