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?
