Follow Your Dreams

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
