This is an absolutely brilliant write!
A truly inspirational and motivational write and I loved it for children to know themselves, practice and develop into good citizens.
The form is simple and suitable for children to read too. A virtual ****** as this late in the week, all my stars have gone to heaven. Smiles.
Great work. Well done! Bravo!!
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

    Hi Carolyn,

    You do have a flair with children and I am sure Faith will take after your wonderful traits if you are able to spend more time teaching her the ropes of life, LOL.
    A little 'Carolyn' will be a welcome change as she is as witty and smart as you, smiles.
    Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

I liked this poem written for children. It has entertainment value of course, but even more than that
it teaches the children a good lesson about being who we
each are intended to be. There is no one quite like you. Very nicely done.

Great picture choice, and a fun flow for children. Of course, I hope the room isn't always tidy and the books come off the shelf.

    Funny thing about tidy. It always starts with untidy. :-) So glad you enjoyed this motivational poem. :-) Carolyn

A very sweet children's poem deserving of recognition. Perfect rhyming and meter. I'm going to have my kids memorize it.

I do believe this one met the prompt the best, uplifting and related to the 'motivational' theme. Congratulations and I do thank you for sharing it with us.

Your motivational poem for children is filled with admiral things that every child's parent would like for their child to accomplish before starting school.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is an excellent poem, picturing the innocence of childhood. I like the emphasis on a healthy desire for order. I like how this shows a healthy desire to grow up responsible and kind.

    If we lead by 'motivated example', it just might work. Thank you so very much, your review and rating is amazing, Carolyn

    I am so glad you won the contest. Apparently I cast the deciding vote. I was seriously thinking of leaving FanStory (and I am on the faculty here!) if that obnoxious poem by Teddy Bears All won. Congratulations!
