My Dream (after “We were tired. We were very merry” by Edna St. Vincent Millay)-- Mariana T

In my family, hard work was a priority for all of us. We

Created a place, a home full of joy. We were safe and loved.

 Even though the stress we were

Placing on our shoulders was great. We were extremely tired

From school, work, dance and our busy schedules. 

Each member of my family had their own vision they were working towards. 

One that only We

Would dream about. A future that would keep us going. We were

Very pleased with ourselves each night when we went to sleep. Even when the work was very

Hard, and the sacrifices were great. All of us had hope. We were very merry.
