A Day to Choose the Right
1. I wake up early to start my day with so many things to do.
2. I put on my clothes and brush my hair, like my mommy asked me to.
3. I help my daddy with outside chores as I rake leaves in the yard.
4. I play with my sister all afternoon, even though sharing is sometimes hard.
5. As nighttime comes, it’s time for bed. Daddy reads stories I enjoy.
6. Mommy gently kisses the top of my head and tells me I’ve been a good boy.
7. I peek out my window to see the moon and whisper a quiet good night.
8. As I say a prayer, I’m thankful this day I remembered to choose the right.
