Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.


Written by Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

A Pledge to Myself

Today I pledge to be
the best possible me
no matter how good I am
I know I can become better
Today I pledge to build
on the work of yesterday
which will lead me
into the rewards of tomorrow
Today I pledge to feed
my mind new knowledge
wisdom and understanding
Today I pledge to reach
for new goals
new challenges and
new horizons
Today I pledge to listen
to the beat of my drummer
Who leads me onward
in search of dreams
Today I pledge to believe in me
