An original poem by an eighth
grade student:
DAY DREAMS
On the banks of a river
Beside it's silver stream,
Stands tall old castle,
The object of my dream.
The days go by and time grows older,
Still within my dreams there stands
The old tower of foreign lands,
Just an air castle soon to fall
Only to rise again and urge thee on,
In dreams more true as time rolls
along.
Life is joy and peace and duty
AS well as dreams and scenes of
beauty,
So let us work as we'll as dream
OF the castle by the stream,
Where treasures are in store
For him who wins them as the
knights of yore,
Yet youth will dream forever more
