He's going to be taller than me sooner than later and now he has stolen my glory as the only published author in the house. 
Kyle participated in the 2023 Idaho Middle School Writing Challenge and his poem was chosen as one of the winners. 
He got a nice gift card from Amazon for his efforts and two really proud parents. 
He was hesitant at first but got he gave me his permission to share it with you guys: 

Changing Behavior 

Challenging your best 
Fixing your worst 
Looking back 
Moving forward 
Making someone 
That you are proud of



Thanks for stopping by and I will talk to you tomorrow.



I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

    I meant "boy" like "bro", not as an age indicator :) I probably should have said "young man"

      All good, jenny_o. Bro is a very popular word with Kyle and Hayden.

    That poem shows a real self awareness. He probably gets that from his dad.
