Third Grade Dreams
Third-graders dream,
and they dream big.
The world is open before them,
like a flower or a fig.
There is no fear,
in their bright eyes.
Their hopes are tremendous,
as they reach for the skies.
Oh, there's reading, writing,
and math to do.
But their thoughts drift off,
so innocent and true .
To the world they will inherit,
when they reach their dream.
A cleaner, brighter time,
than it would seem.
With all the bad news,
in the world today,
what third graders look to,
will rule the future's sway.
For nothing can prevent,
the fulfillment of a dream.
If a youngster works hard,
and rides a moon beam.
To places unknown,
to older folks,
with dreams long dashed.
Always thinking forward,
and not of the past.
So go on and pursue,
your dreams, Third Grade.
For even if you don't make it,
to what you have schemed,
the world will be a better place,
because you chased your dream.

Excellent poem, Ronald, to see integrity,
faith in choices revived as a valued trait
and an anchor for...good of future society.
Great encouragement, that will shape kids
moral character, helping them to be true
to themselves, true to what's right despite
what other people think.
Congratulations! to Jessica.
