Welcome to My Poetry Site
Dreamers in America
Providing strength in diversity
And beautiful variety,
Like strands of gold woven into
The fabric of society,
Our Dreamers here greatly enrich
American communities.
How callous it would be to close
Doors to opportunities!
Their contributions to our country
Should NOT be disregarded,
Buried in forgetfulness,
Ignored, or even discarded.
They didn't come here on their own;
Their parents brought them here.
Whatever the reasons for the move,
One thing is clear:
Brought here at an early age,
They grew to look ahead
And now have fewer ties to
The countries that they fled.
You might be an American
Citizen, but do
You understand that Dreamers are
As American as you?
