I Will
I Will
I will eat my food slowly,
breathe soft through my nose,
I will go to bed early
and be quick on my toes.
I will learn to be gentle,
I will be very kind,
I will attend school punctually,
with a clear and tidy mind.
I will help look after Earth
and be one of those who cares,
I will help the poor and needy
and stick to all my prayers.
I will settle down to work
and hold up my head
and be an early riser,
who never stays in bed.
I will never be lazy
and laze about in my chair,
I will not be at all rude,
or act at all rare.
I will always love my family
and others around me
and hope they understand,
the way that I see.
This is one of the first poems I ever wrote as part of my English homework. Aged 12 years.
