Notes About The Poem

 

"The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

                                                                              ~  Eleanor Roosevelt

Believe In Your Dreams

we learn from the past
putting mistakes behind us
and then move forward

there are no limits
no boundaries or fences
on the roads we walk

life is a canvas
we hold the brush in our hand
to paint our pathway

this is the dawning
of making our dreams come true
each beautiful one

create a future
with an open mind and heart
beginning today

Hi Lin, each of these Senryu is excellently written. Each one is a part of the whole. Your Senryu paint a beautiful canvas, a canvas where each of your dreams can come true. Through your words i come to believe. It is hard to believe anything on the soup these days but i do believe in my dreams. A beautiful set of Senryu with a strong message. This is a definite seven.
