I had an incredible experience presenting to Sigsbee Charter School in Key West. I presented to four groups: First Grade, 2nd and 3rd Grade, 4th and 5th Grade and Middle School to 550 children. The children were wonderful and such a joy. One hundred children wrote me wonderful Thank You notes that warmed my heart. It took me back to a time long ago when I was a child. They interpreted 2 poems, "Large Foreheads" and "River of Dreams". Each had a special meaning to them. I wanted to write them Thank You notes but that would take me too much time so I wrote a poem about, "Follow Your Dreams". I would like to share this poems with my friend and some of the pictures taken during the presentation. Share this with all your children, grandchildren and ones you love.
Follow Your Dreams
Find a path in which to follow
Taking you toward tomorrow
It may be crooked or may be straight
But, have a dream that you relate
With that vision, you will set the
path
Staying away from all tempting wrath
Find a path in which to follow
Make selections high not below
Life is making your plans around
It is exciting college bound
Select your friends along the way
Choosing wisely ones not astray
Find a path in which to follow
Have a vision the way to go
Teachers, parents, or your friends
Will guide you until the end
Playing, learning and working each
day
Handpick your roads black, white, or
some gray
Find a path in which to follow
Your choice a leader, a hero
To follow your
dreams
