Sample Excerpt 1:
“No, I won’t carry bags,” Dell would persist.
“I won’t go for a jog – it’s not on my list.”
Instead, he’d rather…
Do CARTWHEELS and leap with glee,
Bouncing like a flea, wild and free.
Sample Excerpt 2:
Dell chuckled and realized with a heartfelt laugh,
Trying new things could lead to a joyous path.
He embraced this new thought by joining the crew!!!
AFTERALL, WHAT ELSE COULD HE DO?
Sample Excerpt 3:
Using bags he refused to carry in the past,
Dell gathered supplies, his resolve steadfast.
Stitching them together, forming a sturdy band,
They rebuilt the tent with skilled helping hands.
