Dreams

Your dream is very important.

If your dream ever dies,

It would be like an angel with

No wings,

Or a bird with no feathers.

So remember,

Keep your dreams alive and

Flying because one day

They will come true.

 

By: Courtney S.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dreams

 

Sometimes dreams come true,

Sometimes they don’t.

I hope my dreams come true.

I want to be a model,

Actress, or dancer.

With that kind of money I’d have,

I could give to the poor.

When I grow up,

I can help anyone I want.

I’ll be the richest person

In the world.

 

Dreams, Dreams, Dreams

Everybody has dreams –

At night or while they are awake.

 

By Aaliyah N.

 

 

 

My Dream

 

My dream of the future

Is to fix everything up:

The guns, the violence,

The gangs and the thugs.

My dream will work,

It will not fail!

My dream is like

A ringing bell:

It will ring and ring

And call to people

That violence is dead

And helping is good.

 

By Keith R.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dreams

 

Have a Dream that

You will Dream all day.

No matter what you Dream,

Let it be there to stay.

 

When you are alone at night

And your Dream is tight,

Know that your Dream never happens

In one single night.

 

So Dream high,

Don’t Dream low.

No matter where you are,

Your Dream is on the go.

 

By Shannon N.

 

 

 

Dreams

 

Dreams are about what you want.

My dream is to be

A singer – it can come true.

You can dream, too,

Just by believing.

Dreams are real,

Dreams are fake.

A dream is what

You give and take.

Dreams, dreams, dreams!

 

By Tikilia L.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dreams

 

 

My dreams are so high

They are in the sky!

I love my education.

That’s just as it should be.

Yes, school is very good.

My dream is to go to college

To get more knowledge.

My dreams,

They are up so high.

 

 

By Crystal H.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish I Could Fly

 

I wish I could fly

Up through the sky

While the birds follow me

Everywhere I fly.

I want to go to school.

Time to go to the park.

Oh, it was just a dream.

 

By Monté G.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dreams

 

Dreams can be real.

All you have to do

To make them real

Is just believe.

When you go to sleep,

Think of all the children

That are poor.

Appreciate

What your mom and dad

Give you.

 

By Jessica D.

 

 

 

 

Peace and Love

 

My dream

For the world is

Peace and love.

Let everyone get

A great big hug.

Dreams are real.

When I walk

Down the street,

I see violence.

I don’t want to,

But that’s

The way it is.

So I dream

My dream

For the world . . .

Peace and love.

 

 

By Fatima B.

A Real Dream

 

 

A dream is not when

You work at Burger King.

It’s something that puts you

Through the right door.

It’s having a goal

That you work for.

 

By Desireé P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Dream

 

My dream is for

Peace and harmony,

For a place where guns

Were never invented.

People are friendly.

Animals eat leaves,

And the world

Is a safer place

For you and for me.

That is my dream.

 

 

                        By Evan N.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dreams

 

Don’t let your dream die.

If you do, I feel sorry for you.

Dreams are supposed to fly

In your mind and in the sky.

Don’t let them die,

Let them fly and fly.

 

By Dawneé F.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dreams bring you high,

When you’re feeling low low.

Hold on to your dreams,

Don’t let your dreams go.

 

By Dah’son W.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Dream

 

Sometimes I dream of being an artist.

I also dream of being a racecar driver.

But there is a dream I have for everyone.

Stop world war, stop violence and hunger.

Stop the young people from dying everyday.

This dream is like no other.

If we all dream it,

At last my dream

Will come true.

Stop world war, stop violence and hunger.

Stop the young people from dying everyday

So we can sleep,

At last.

 

By Myles C.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Dream

 

My dream is to be

A singer in the future

And inspire little girls,

And I’m going to

Go to college.

I will give a message

To the little girls and say:

Don’t be on drugs,

Stay in school and

Get a college education.

Also, I will become

Rich and help my mom

Take care of the baby.

My mom takes care of my

Little sisters and makes

Sure they are not on drugs.

             And that is my dream.

 

By Kareea C.

My Dream

 

My dream is to have

Money to share.

I’ll buy things for others

To show that I care.

A limo can take me

Where I need to be,

And I would give rides

To others I see.

I’d invite all to my mansion

If something goes wrong.

While the time goes past

I will sing them a song.

I dream that my blessings

Are not just for me,

I have them to help

Make others happy.

 

Gabrielle H.

My Dream Poem

 

On the streets

There will be

No cursing people

No Stealing

No violence

 

And in their houses

People will have

Food everyday

And smiles

On their faces

 

And the city will be fine.

DREAM FLAG

 

No drug addicts.

I wish people would stop doing drugs

 

around my home.

 

I wish there were no drug addicts.

DREAM FLAG

 

No more shooting.

I dream I will be a policegirl so I can

 

lock-up bad people.

 

No more shooting.

 

No more guns.
