Ashlie wrote the following "I Have a Dream" speech after studying Martin Luther King, Jr. and his speech by the same name. Her teacher had her read it to us for the first time at Parent/Teacher conferences. I echo her words.
I Have a Dream
I have a dream that the hurricane of war will cease. I have a wish that there will be many rivers of peace that will drown the earth. I wish that the tsunami of divorce will be stopped. I hope that someday the weeds of depression will be plucked out of the earth to make room for the blossoms of happiness to grow. I have a dream that the mountain of drugs will swiftly be chipped away. I have hope that the terrible disease of cancer will leave forever. I have a dream that the valley of worry will be flooded with the waters of confidence. I wish that the fog of bad air will be lifted from this world forever. I hope that the tempest of blackmailing will quickly die away.
