Dreams are a harvest not a gift...17 total reviews
Comment from Therese Caron
This is so beautifully written. She looks so young and vulnerable, yet with big plans for the future. You packed a lot of emotion into 15 syllables. Great job, and wonderful image to accompany poem.

Hard to even remember those days, but when I look into the eyes of my students, there they are, shining bright! ;) Thanx for stopping by! ;) Yvette
Comment from Ogden
Nice work, Yvette!
A terrific combination of a powerful message and excellent choice of illustration.
(It's difficult to say a lot about a poem so brief, and this sentence should be more than adequate to fulfill the arbitrary 150 keystroke requirement for reviews.)
Hugs,
Don

What a charming image to accompany your well composed poem. I think one thing does build on another and soon we get a life's direction from accumulating successes. Marilyn

Excellent the truth about the value of living in the present when certain dreams can steal the precious work of a life yet to be fulfilled. It has a charm a wit and a true voice with an appeal to all ages.

Comment from June Sargent
And it's not luck either! But hard work is involved in attaining our dreams. Otherwise, we're guilty of feeling entitled - like so many of today's youth. So start working towards those dreams by waking up and setting realistic goals.
