My promise

Each day I will do my best,
And I won't to any less.
My work will always please me,
And I won't accept a mess.

I will colour very carefully,
My handwriting very neat.
I will not be happy,
Till my papers are complete.

I'll always do my homework,
And do my best in every test.
I won't forget my promise,
To do my very best.

A little about this poem
This poem was written when I was about 7, upset over the scores I got on a test. Although I was comforted and told that the test was not important, the little perfectionist in me refused to accept it and I wrote this poem. It has been tacked to my walls for over six years now and always reminds me to do my best

Love,
