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

Brotherhood, "Who are the Least of These?) Original Acrylic Painting For Sale

    Brotherhood Who are the Least of These? by Renne’ Siewers   Brotherhood depicts the differences in mankind by the positioning of hands.   If you watch a person’s body, you can surmise what emotion a person feels inside.   The indigenous people of all nations were preyed upon and murdered, starved by invaders who took away their livelihood.   This native individual is praying for forgiveness for mankind and their own forgiveness for all who sinned against the innocent.   These people forgave their enemies just like Jesus forgave those who did the same to him. Jesus has his hands clenched, exasperated by mankind's behavior, to find who will serve mankind to lead the brotherhood from hunger, poverty, sickness, and imprisonment.   With his hands turned toward his body, the Manchurian states that he is not open to anyone or anything.   He feels he is superior to everyone in his skills and does not believe in Jesus. The Manchu...

Original Acrylic Art by Renne' Siewers, "Eyes of a Mother" For Sale Canvas Print

    “Eyes of a Mother” War and Peace Renne’ Siewers Looking through the Eyes of a Mother is the maternal window protecting a child during life and death.   So helpless is a child against war.   The mother is responsible for her child’s protection during this duress.   Depicted in the Eyes of a Mother’s portrait are the loud military explosions bursting in their ears from the nearby war; she finds a way to make her child content and safe. The Mother cries out, “God protect my child from the ominous war.” Mary of Nazareth fled with Joseph on a donkey to save her unborn child from certain death at the hands of the soldiers.   King Herod (Herod the Great) ordered the first newborn male child under the age of two to be killed at the hands of his soldiers.   King Herod heard rumors that a born king, or savior, would be extremely powerful among the Jewish people.   The second reason Herod was troubled was that he didn’t want Christ to come to...
