"We Can Make a House Called Tomorrow" Group Poem
We can make a house called tomorrow
A house that we can survive in
A house that can protect us (Pema)
A house filled with happiness smiles and laughter
We can make a house called tomorrow together (Carina)
A house that always has color
A house that gets hit by rainbows (Camila)
A nice blue sky and a blue sea
just for me (Stacie)
Where fireflies light the sky
Crickets sing nearby
And gentle waves kiss the golden sands goodbye (Brianna)
It will have food
So you never get hungry (Raynaa)
There are many rooms that are happy
Some that are filled with toys (Mikaela)
A house where kids dance filled with joy (Nusrat)
In it will be two pairs of chairs
A pet with a friend and food (Jessica)
A house full of laughter and fun
People playing out in the sun (Lojina)
And find reflections of ourselves
in hearts both young and old (Kruti)
There will be birds with horns, called Enchanted and
they can turn things gold!
And the ground can become a trampoline! (Lhaze)
No more hunting, logging or mining
Let's make this new house clean
We can make a house called tomorrow
It can be more than just a dream (Liam)
When we wake up tomorrow
I hope there is no sorrow (Inigo)
Bad people would be good
We live together and love each other (Christopher)
We will keep out bad people who want to hurt us
I know we can make tomorrow better (Vlad)
The earth will not be polluted (Ishak)
Where rainbows work like magic
Unicorns fly on rainbows (Kailin)
Everyone is cured. New world, new life.
Flying hoverboards. Happiness spreads positive vibes. (Dilasha)
The world I see is no illness and no violence
There would be concerts that you don’t have to pay for
The world I see is a world with books, no darkness,
and there would be no wildfires (Julia)
Where people are happy and healthy
Everyone can see each other freely (Metin)
We could help the old people
We could share times with them
Because one day I will be old
and I will like the people who treated me like this (Jeremy)
No one will be poor
But just in case we will help them out more
Helping each other to get through rough times
We will make the world shine (Anika)
A house that rains stars of hope for everyone
We can make a house tomorrow for all the kids in the world (Isaiah)
I’ll make it indestructible so it doesn’t tear up
into pieces even if thunder hits it
it’ll reflect back into the sky (Tenzin)
It will be a place full of happiness
Everyone will have a big stuffed animal (Woeze)
I want a place where everyone can create anything
their dreams can imagine
A place where we are loved and respected
no matter what we look like or come from (Mason)
And if the entire town needs food or water, and even a home,
I will give it to them
To give a better tomorrow (Xan)
We’ll share varieties of wool all stacked together
With wondrous aromas piled up in the kitchen (Huey)
It would have easter eggs and rabbits from
my country (Evanzealina)
Where animals talk and buildings walk (Lhaksam)
It will look like a rock ‘cause it’s made with stone (Mihran)
We will hold each others hands
and walk with all our courage
Let your dreams take you on a journey
Don't think of things as they are but as they could be (Maiya)
No one will be harmed from evil, I say
But there is joy and laughter around
We can make a house called tomorrow
It will never fall down (Margauret)
