The Dreams That Last Forever

I’ve had many dreams along the years

And I’ve had hopes and I’ve had fears

Some have been extremely wide

And I held on with all my pride.

And some have been so very small

Never very big at all

I’ve given up dreams like unicorns

But afterwards new dreams were born

And when I had a special dream

I would let it shine and gleam

And I hold on with all my might

Threw sunshine and the darkest night

When I was brave and when I had fright

I held on so very tight

I held on like a winner with her smile

And I held on like a mother and her child

I held on like paper with a mark of pen

Never to erase again

And there are dreams I still have today

That I will not let go away

I have dreams that will remain

Just like the ones that before came.

So never try to take my dreams

You’ll leave with nothing more than what with you came

For my dreams are wild and free things

That you will never tame.

-- Sarah M.

A Chain of People

In my dream,

 My brother is a tiger.

Always aggressive and wild

In my dream,

 My little sister is a monkey.

Always hyper and free

In my dream,

 My older sister is a puppy.

Active in the morning and tiered at night

In my dream,

 My mother is a panda Bear.

Always protective and caring

In my dream,

 My father is a lion.

The head of the pack

In my dream

 My family is a silver necklace.

All the links hooked together and never to be

Ripped apart.

--Christina K.

If you don’t dream

You have to dream because if you don’t,

life will become as bad as a sunken boat.

Life will become as dark as night,

and the world will become full with fright.

And life will become so sad,

it will be the worst nightmare you’ve ever had.

But if you dream,

life will be as happy as it ever seemed.

The sun will shine so very bright,

and no one would ever fight.

Everyone will laugh and play,

and all your nightmares will go away.

--Samantha S.

In My Dreams

In my dreams,

There is a world of peace and harmony.

In my dreams,

There will always be someone by my side.

In my dreams,

My imagination soars and comes to life.

In my dreams,

I can be right, I can be wrong, I can be weak and I can be strong.

In my dreams,

There are problems, but before the tear shatters, there are solutions.

In my dreams,

I will reach for the stars and never fall.

In my dreams,

I will be someone who needs, someone who helps, and someone who leads.

In my dreams,

I can be anything, I will be everything.

-- Victoria J.

Dreams Wait

A hope a dream,

Wrapped up in a bottle

Waiting to be read by you or me.

A hope a dream,

Closed inside a locket

Waiting to be opened by you or me.

A hope a dream,

A kite in the sky

Waiting to be tugged in by you or me.

A hope a dream,

A candle in a dark room

Waiting to be lit by you or me.

A hope a dream,

An image in a mind

Waiting to be accomplished by you or me.

--Annie W.

An ocean of thoughts

When I get to be a composer

I will write about

yellow daisies,

red roses,

green grass,

blues skies,

kids playing,

just how we used to be.

I’ll write about,

dozens of poppies,

fists full of fire,

heads full of thoughts,

ribbons of hope,

and pens full of thoughts

When I get to be a composer,

My thoughts will spill out on to a page

like an ocean of thoughts.

--Kelton S.

Dreams can fly

Dreams-they’re amazing things,

Happily ever after,

Spread your wings,

And fly!

Reach for the sky,

Grab your dreams,

Fly, fly, fly.

Into space,

To the moon,

Hopefully,

Your dreams will come soon.

Through the clouds,

Into space,

And back to the crowds,

Back to life,

Back to dreams!

--Lindley S.

Imaginary

My dreams are so magical

So lusty and free

You can fly through the tree

And soar with a bee

You can sit up on clouds

Without any fright

Every thing is so peaceful

So peaceful and light

The birds may be whistling

A happy tune

While people just sit

Just sit on the moon

And every one will be happy

So happy and free

And everyone will be happy

Happy like me.

                                      --Alissa C.

Dreamer

I am a dreamer

I always think of hope and peace

I dream of love and laughter

And war to be decreased

                        I dream of things I prefer

Such as the world being happier

This in my life is the centerpiece

For I am a dreamer who dreams

Impossible dreams

                                                                I want the world to be swept and well               kept

And everyone is blessed not

Depressed

I dream for I am a dreamer who

Dreams only for the best

Who believes in dreaming of dreams

I am a dreamer

Sweet, loving, kind, truthful

And daring to dream

--Mireille G.

 Dreamer

My dream is a bird that will never stop flying,

It is a flower that will never stop growing,

My dream is a candle that will never burn out,

It is the ocean that will always have waves,

My dream is a leaf never falling to the ground,

It will always glide through the air,

My dream is as light as a feather,

It is so light you will never forget it,

My dream is so sweet you will never forget the taste,

It is a clock that will never stop ticking,

My dream is forget less,

And will never be forgotten.

--Katie D.

Beautiful Beaches

When I fall asleep

I will dream about a sunset

On the beach

With all the colors of the sun mixed together like

 a palette

of pink

purple

yellow

orange

and red paint

all melted away

I will dream about the smooth movement of the waves

Swishing like sheets in the breeze

I will dream about the animals

The crabs

The dolphins

The fish

The seagulls

And the little girl nextdoor

All sinking into dreams

All sleeping

--Kelsey L.M.

Happiness

My dream is for everyone to be happy,

like little puppies playing.

My dream is for no one to be sad,

like a giant lolly-pop that can never be licked away.

The sun would always shine,

like a huge yellow beach ball.

No one can get sick or be in pain,

like everyone wearing hockey pads all the time.

Anyone could dream about anything they want,

like a free ride on a cloud.

My dream is for everyone to be happy all the time!

-- Caroline T.

Dream of Lace

My dreams are full of wishes,

happiness, peace, and friendship

My dreams are full of nature

flowers, rainbows, and sunshine

My dream is anything I want it to be.

In my dreams I fly, up in the air, with the birds in the sky.

In my dreams I float, in the water, with all the fishes in the reef.

In my dream I am a composer writing story that never ends with the people of the earth.

In my dream that I forget in the morning.

My dream is a special place,

locked under my covers,

with a pillow made of lace.

--Isabelle S.

In my dream, life is a box of chocolates.

In my dream, the outside of that box is wonderful.

In my dream, the inside of that box is even more wonderful.

In my dream, every kind gets along.

In my dream, white chocolate and dark chocolate get along.

In my dream, hazelnut chocolate gets along with milk chocolate.

In my dream, life is a box of chocolates.

In my dream, hazelnut, white, dark, milk, and mint chocolate,

hold hands.

--Elaine K

God created a world of peace

For all of mankind

There weren’t any wars

 or fighting

No words of hate

or any hatred

But one day something happened

It came out of the blue

like an earthquake

like a tornado

like a leak in a boat

There were no more years of peace

no more smiling faces

When you looked around a room

All you would see was cruelness

If God were here right now

Would he like what has happened?

Would he think of it as perfect?

And give us a pat on the back?

Or would he frown

with his shoulders back

looking quite grim

knowing that his plan has gone all wrong

God created the world in seven days

Would he want to know

what we could do in seven days?

If God were here right now

What would he think?

                                                                             --Sara C.

What is a dream?

What is my dream?

Who dreams?

A dream to me is a satisfying wish,

Hoping for something better.

A dream to me is a feeling of optimism,

With a felt presence of disbelief.

A dream to me is having the ability to dream,

And using the talent to make your wishes come true.

This is A dream.

My dream is like a warm summer day,

A carefree place where living is always a pleasant experience.

My dream is completely crime free,

An area where every neighborhood and every street is safe.

My dream is a place that uses war but sparingly,

For reasons concerning freedom not land.

My dream is a world of respect,

From courteous neighbors, to always respecting your nation’s leader.

My dream is an establishment far from perfect,

But every citizen is striving for that one ultimate goal.

This is MY dream.

Those who are kids dream,

Wishing for a new toy or even perfect worlds.

Those who have kids dream,

Hoping for the continual ability to support and protect their family.

Those who live on the streets dream,

Often for something as simple as bread.

Those who live on the Earth dream,

You, Me, Him, Her, and Them.

This is WHO dreams.

What is a dream?

Who dreams?

What is your dream?

--Amanda B.

My Dream

My dream would be great, if it actually came true

My dream would be perfect,

 If people loved each other just the way they are

But right now in the world of violence,

 There has been little sign of this

People fighting

 Over stupid things such as money, land---

But this was not the way the world was to be!

I may be speaking for the whole country

Or just the people in this room,

But love,

Friendship

And harmony

Will always keep us together!

And together,

We will be

                           By: Kelly S.

 My Dream         

In my dream there will be-

NO FIGHTS.

In my dream people will-

HELP each other with all their MIGHT.

In my dream everyone will get-

ALONG.

In my dream nothing will go-

WRONG.

In my dream the world would be in-

PEACE AND HARMONY.

In my dream the world would be-

PERFECT as PERFECT as it could EVER be!

                                         --Kit H.

To Dream

To Dream

To Dream

That’s not hard to do

When this world

Is in need

of much dreaming.

When the fields of life

are yellow and spoiled

To Dream

To Dream

That they were green like fields

Should be

To Dream

To Dream

That’s not hard to do

When life itself

is a war in one

And many battles

are going on

Dreaming makes you realize

Why you were put on this earth

To Dream

To Dream

Dream of how we could change this world

Yes,

That is what we were made to do

To Dream

To Dream

--Rayven B.

My Dreams

My dream is a lark,

 Its song as lovely as a soprano

My dream is a butterfly,

 Beautiful as ever

My dream is a tiger,

 Bowing to a dove

My dream is a crow,

 Soaring over a paradise

My dream is a starlit moon,

 Peaceful as anything

My dream is world peace

--Heather-Ashley B. 

THE DREAM

In my dream I am a star…

Both movie star and sky star which both

Take me far

In my dream I am a dancer…

A cheetah that warms up ready to prance

A ballerina on stage, LIGHTS shining brightly

On my face

In my dream, I see peace all around me…

A calm ocean

Without warships

There is no war anywhere and every soul is free

In my dream I am running my company…

A beehive

Of busy bees

Working diligently, under me

In my dream I have a goal…

My soul as my leader

And I am in control

--Rayna V.

Today

My dream is Today

are diagnosed with an illness.

My dream is Today

when someone loved

--Sammy L.

A Perfect Dream

In my dream

The world is safe from harm.

Everyone has a home

Not necessarily large or small but it is home.

Everyone is loved by someone.

Not necessarily their mom or dad

But they are loved.

Everyone has money

Not necessarily a lot

But enough, for the simple three meals a day.

Everyone is happy.

Not because of gifts from the store but because of gifts from the heart.

As you can see the world in my dream is perfect

A little, too perfect for right now.

- -Lydia K.

Dreams

My Dream is a bird,

Gliding,

across the sea,

My dream is a friend,

A new one to me.

My dream is a puppy,

not yet seeing,

but soon will open it’s eyes,

and smile at me.

My dream is a star,

not yet burning,

My dream is for people,

to be treated equal,

And the earth,

To keep on turning.

--Julia P.

In my dream…….

In my dream I will find a cure for cancer

In my dream the homeless will have homes

In my dream the starving will have food

In my dream there would be no more war

In my dream the world would be at peace

In my dream!

        - -Kelsey Ly.

For the Girl

For the girl my dream is for everything to be

Alright

For the girl my dream is for everything to be

Ok

For the girl my dream is for her to speak up

and tell them to understand

For the girl my dream is to be able to go anywhere

Without being scared

For the girl my dream is to reach into the bag

And pull out something great

For the girl my dream is for the sky to be clear

When she goes to heaven

For the girl my dream is to grow up

Into a great person

For the girl my dream is for her seed to bloom

into a beautiful flower

For the girl my dream is for the trees not to be used as paper

But oxygen

For the girl my dream is for the birds not to wake her up

But put her to sleep at night

For the girl my dream is for her to have independence

like you and me

For the girl

--Jen L.
