This afternoon I watched...
Do you know what a diary is?
It is a book you write.
You write things about your day.
I wrote in mine last night.

I wrote "Today was pretty good
though it started bad.
I worked hard and pretty soon
I was glad I had."


"Things really did get better.
And, I ACED a test!"
I wrote "This afternoon I watched
red-birds build their nest."

The best thing is I can look back
and see how far I've come.
And good ideas that I have had.
Yes, we ALL have some!
