What About Dreams by Rakyia

You can dream;
you can fall,
but your dream
can become a big dream.

If you do not dream,
you need to start to dream.
It will come in life.

If you do not believe me,
ask your heart,
and I know it will say
yes.

My Dream Is Me by Patricia

My dream is me;

it’s what I want to be.

It’s everything I believe in;

it’s what I love.

My dream is me;

it’s what I want to do,

for me not for you.

This is true.

My dream is up to me,

So you do you and I’ll do me.

this will always be my dream.

My dream is all about me,

and it’s what I want to do for all my life.

Glorious Light by Amanuel

The Dream is the future of humanity.  

It will be the road to sanity.

The blind can see the dream,

for their eyes will redeem,

thanks to my dream.  

The Dream will sing  

like the shine of a diamond ring.

The Dream shines such a glorious light

that those who can see lose their sight.

The Dream is the lead of technology,

the lead of psychology.

The Dream is the lead to success,

the end of political mess.  

The Dream will make the dead  

see the end of dread.

The Dream will put on a beautiful smile

 that shines more than a mile.

The Dream will be never ending,

more likely beginning,

like an eagle soaring

and a lion roaring.

Other dreams that are hated

will be baited.

Other dreams that are praised

will get a chance to let the dead be raised.

The Dream will send haters

to the moon’s craters.

The haters will soar high

with a dreadful and hateful tie.

The Dream will be spoken in Tennessee,

spoken in Tallahassee,

spoken in Kentucky,

spoken so much people aren’t so sucky.  

The Dream that is supposed to shine,

yes, that same dream, is mine.

Just Like Me by Chianna

My dream is me.

My dream is just for me.

My dream is sweet, 

just like me.

My dream is a precious dream.

My dream is meant to be.

My dream is the world

to me.

My dream is beautiful.

My dream is awesome to me.

Therefore, I will always dream

the one and only dream.

Love by Jaylen

My mother is a god.

She is beautiful.

I love her so much.

I love my family, too.

My grandma, my mom, and my sister

I love the most.

Our hearts whisper to one another

everytime we are near.

I love when

I hang out with them;

I feel so love.

When they are proud of me,

I feel so happy.

One of my dreams is to cure nickel.

If I accomplish this dream,

which I know I will,

they will be super proud of me.

I am going to explain

what nickle is, 

so listen up.

I was born with nickel

and did not know it, 

but when I came to TN,

I started getting bumps.

So my mom took me to the doctor;

they said that I had nickel.

I am alergic to things that grow from the ground

and metal.

I'm a Fifth Grader Dreamer by Kimberly

I am a fifth grader

that will not joke her dream.

I am a fifth grader

that will not lose her game.

I am a fifth grader

whose dream is like an ocean wave.

I am a dreamer

that wants to keep dreaming

and reach my most important dream.

I am a dreamer

that will care about her dream.

I am a fifth grade dreamer  

that will not give up on her dream.

What Are Dreams? by Jordan

Dreams, Dreams,

what are dreams to me?

They shower me with victory,

and wish me good luck while

I’m on my way to being successful

in life.

Dreams to me walk me down the right path

to a great successful college, 

that gives me more knowledge and experience.

Dreams lead you on the path to success,

and to a good education.

And not to a bad place where some people don’t care.

But I can tell you right now, 

don’t follow bad kids just because they act cool

and wear cool clothes.

Follow your heart and make your dreams come true,

because dreams are a good thing to think about in middle school.

And if you work hard and make good choices,

your dreams will come true.

I promise you that if you study and listen in class,

those dreams will finally become a reality and not

just a dream.

Dreams are important to me,

because I don’t hang out with the wrong crowd.

You’re going to make your dreams come true.

To teachers and parents, 

you have taught and raised me the best that you could,

so now let me prove to you that my dreams will come true.

So when you get home,

ask your parents if they

ever had a dream when they were little.

And maybe their dream came true,

just by having you,

and having a family with you in it.

Dreams, Dreams,

that is my dream.

I by Kayla S.

I love to sing

while the bells ring.

I start to rhyme

when I see a chime.

As time goes by,

I don’t cry.

I follow my dream

with my team.

My dreams are very neat,

and I know we’ll meet.

I love to rhyme

all the time.

I lay my head

upon my bed.

I start to dream

of... everything.

Blacks Can by Zahnius

They say we can't;

I say we can.

We can read;

we can write.

I know we can.

I have sight;

I see it.

I know one thing.

I'm black, too.

I can read and write.

If I couldn't,

would I write this?

Is there something wrong with us?

No, it's just a broken system,

not us.

We're smart,

and I say:

We can.

Blacks can.

We all can.

I can!

I'm gonna tell you how we can.

Because Jackie Robinson did it,

and Muhammad Ali did it.

So I say

we all can!

I Grew Up Alone by Judith

I grew up alone,

where my family roams.

I grew up alone,

where my family goes.

I grew up alone, 

where my family is short.

I grew up alone,

where my family knows.

I grew up alone,

without a home.

I grew up alone,

without no who, what, where.

I grew up alone,

where my family rolls.

 

I grew up alone,

without no you.

I grew up alone,

but that doesn’t mean I don’t know.

I grew up alone,

so I don’t care.

I grew up alone,

so I could go.

I grew up alone,

so this is me and only me.

I grew up alone.

I open my eyes, 

and I see it’s you.

I grew up alone,

and I see that you are back. 

 

Thank you,

Mom and Dad,

for everything you have done.

That right there is my dream;

thank you so much.

           

A Chance by Donia

My life is like a cookie;

it crumbles every day.

Although it is my life,

I have nothing to say.

I have a chance to do everything.

I can fulfil my dreams and become a technical engineer,

or I could sit here and be sincere.

People have doubt.

They say I won’t have enough time,

but I won’t let my time run out.

I will inspire people

to reach new heights.

People will look at me,

and think I am bright.

I will inspire people to be anything

they wanna be,

so when they look in my eyes 

they can see everything inside of me.

I will prove my self to everybody,

so they can see I did it!

My Goal in Life by Justin

I want to play in the NFL,

and run down the field,

tackling people to the ground.

I'll get to go all over the U.S.A.

That is the best I say.

I will rock the crowd.

That is what i say.

I’m gonna play every down.

I’ll get paid to do what I love;

I’ll get paid big bucks.

Nothing will stop me;

Nothing will get in my way.

I will win the Super Bowl, 
and go down in history.

Important by Toccara

My dream is important,

because when I grow up, 

I want to have my own fashion store

for people to buy clothes from me.

My dream is important to me,

as important as getting good grades,

because my grades are important, too.

Every time I look at fashion stores or clothes,

they look at me and say,

“I wish you made me.”

My dream is important ,

because I want people 

to be inspired by me,

and to love my clothes.

My dream is important to me today,

and I don’t care what other people say,

because...

my dream is IMPORTANT to ME!
