Hold On
Hold on to your love
Hold on to your dream
Don’t let it go away
Hold on to the love
Hold on to the dream
Don’t let it fly away
Mak it stay

so sweet…..it touch my heart
i juss wanna let you know your poem really inspires me to work my hardest in school and be a good student thank you i wish you the best
I enjoy the short and rhyming style because it can say so much without needing to write everything! The ability to love and dream can get you through some rough times but is also easy to lose sadly when the world can be so unfair! So, I really enjoyed the final line about making it stay, because it is such an important message to inspire others with!
Thank you for the pleasure to read your writing! I hope it’s helping! Anyways, I wish you well and hope to read more!

I really like how you repeated the lines of the poem to show how important it is. It is important to hold onto dreams and love and that’s exactly what your poem shows. I also like how the last line is different to emphasize holding onto what you have and keeping it for as long as you can. Beautifully done!
