For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son so whoever believes in hill will not die but have eternal life.

Dreams are what make us who we are, a life without dreams is like a life without air.


Bouncy balls, dress up clothes
Plastic boxes, rubber toads
Ballet shoes and ice skates
Icing from last year cake
I found a hundred dollars now that’s a LOT of money
Along with old dog collars that were looking kind of funny
Some old play cars, jewels and rings
Some squished up looking yellow things
Some Polly pockets, a picture I’d drawn,
A plastic fish and a Dairy Queen coupon
An embarrassing love letter I never sent
Some old oatmeal that looks like cement
My Uncle Bob’s flipper fins
Expired codes from webkinz
Some unsharpened pencils
About fifteen old stencils
And old calculator
A stuffed alligator
Two fluffy pillows
Nine pussy willows
Two drum-sticks from dinner,
A card that said winner,
My old soccer jersey,
Some moldy beef Jerky
My Grandpa’s magic hat,
My brother’s baseball bat.
An old rusty flute,
A whoopee cushion that doesn’t toot
An old tape
A pink drape
Dried out pens
Rubber hens
A makeup kit
A baseball mitt
A test paper that I flunked
This stuff is mostly junk
Three novels I already read
I guess I’ll just stuff it all under my bed.

Live for today, not for tomorrow

Nice job! This is simple, yet very creative! This could turn into a catchy jingle, like the ones you see on T.V. Love the last line!

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

Dream like you will live forever, live like you will die today.

This brought a smile to my face, and I love the ending. Creative rhyming; simple but obviously thought about. Cheers!
