My mother worked really hard on this and let me edit it (she flinched a few times at my suggestions—like breaking the long lines into shorter ones—but she likes the end result). Then she asked me to post it somewhere so other people could see it. I would really appreciate any comments, no matter how short. Thanks.



New dreams, new dreams
They hold my heart together and
make me free
to soar like clouds against the open sky and
try and try
until my hopes become reality

I am dismissing the past sorrows
that rent my heart of happiness and
from now on live a life of New Dreams making
the world brighter as I go.

As I put my goals on paper
(presents not yet open )
I know
I will persevere
Though the road to them be rough

New dreams, new dreams
They hold my heart together as
I change
my world
a little more each day and
know the pain is fading

Now when each new day arises
I do the things I love and
see the beauty of
the world
beyond my door

While I cannot change
my yesterdays
I share the kindness of the
heart with those
I see and make a better life

I am dreaming on.
