Poetry Friday: Now Dream YOUR Dream #poemsforMaryLee

I can't think of a better way to celebrate Poetry Friday than to offer my best wishes to Mary Lee Hahn upon her retirement. It is a gift in this life to be given the opportunity to live more than one dream. 





Now Dream YOUR Dream

For years
you have planted 
the dreams
others pursued,
carefully tending 
their fragile
nature.

Walking 
beside 
fellow travelers
searching for
paths to be taken,
roads to travel,
destinations 
yet to be revealed. 

Celebrating
steps large 
and small,
nurturing
tomorrows 
still unknown.

Now 
it is your turn
to chase words
and moments,
to savor quiet
and slow. 
to discover new roads
waiting for you. 

Now 
it is your turn
    to dream.

  5. I love this so much. Thank you for honoring me with the gift of your beautiful words!
    Yes, yes it is time for my dreams. I feel confidently that all those young ones I launched will dream us a better world. I'm satisfied to take my place in the cheering section of the bleachers.
