Changing Rules

by Cheryl Merrick

I never thought
I changed rules;
I just solved problems.

Armed with principles,
I design solutions
and simply don’t allow
“shoulds” to stop me.


Using others
past experience
to expand
instead of limiting my options,

I determinedly reach upward,
Seeking eternal growth,
Proceeding with faith,
Exploring possibilities,
til the goal is reached.
