DREAMWEAVERS
By: Marjorie Evasco
Verse 1 implies that we each have our own Verse 1
concept of the term "world." On how, even if

you're a man, and especially if you're a

woman who dreams of being woven into life, We are entitled to our
own
we will have to live in this world. We have the

right to our own experiences, and it is up to Definitions of the

worlds
us to decide how we will deal with them or

.
what we want to do with our lives Even if We have in common :
everyone of us sees the same thing in a

,
different way we share some

commonalities .

One woman in Pagnito an-
up half of the world and that when they

,

,
Everywhere we go we see women working Still another in Harxheim

.
hard to achieve their goals This verse
And many other women
appears to both protest and promote

,
women implying that they can do the same
Naming

things as others and that when they band Half the world together

,
together they are invincible and

unbreakable .
Verse 7 talks on how attractive and self-
sufficient women are. It demonstrates
Verse 7
women's physical, spiritual, and cerebral

abilities. Women have the power to dream,

can do a work even if it is tough to do so,

Can move their earth
and to move freely around comfortably.

Women, often known as ladies, share a bond

Must house their fire

and a commonality, and the world is now Be water to their song

more equitable between everyone.

Will their dreams well .
 Thank you!
