Recycle – Poetry 101 Rehab challenge

12/05/201509/03/2016 Fred the Needle

Can you recycle broken dreams?

take each section of shattered pieces

glue them together with possibility?

It needs time

and courage

but recycled dreams have the potential

to be more glorious

more magnificent

than the original

when glued together

with

hope.
