**A Dream Within A Dream by [|Edgar Allan Poe] ** Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow-- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a **[|dream]**; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep--while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

**[|The Road Not Taken] by [|Robert Frost] ** Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

My best friend gave me the best advice He said each day’s a gift and not a given right Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? If today was your last day Against the grain should be a way of life What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try So live like you’ll never live it twice Don’t take the free ride in your own [|life] If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce of memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day If today was your last day Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it’s never too late to shoot for the stars Regardless of who you are So do whatever it takes ‘Cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life Let nothin’ stand in your way Cause the hands of time are never on your side If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce of memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day

And this is where I grew up I think the present owner fixed it up I never knew we'd ever went without The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school Most of the time had better things to do Criminal record says I've broke in twice I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late Should I go back and try to graduate? Life's better now than it was back then If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh oh oh Oh God I

Every memory of looking out the back door I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye

Remember the old arcade? Blew every dollar that we ever made The cops hated us hanging out They said somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio And sing along with every song we know We said someday we'd find out how if feels To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed I was so nervous that I nearly missed She's had a couple of kids since then I haven't seen her since God knows when

Oh oh oh Oh [|God] I

Every memory of looking out the back door I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town I miss their faces You can't erase You can't replace it

I miss it now I can't believe it So hard to stay Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh Every time I do it makes me
