American Dream poetry...sorry it took so long

Poems of the american dream are everywhere. They mean much more than the individual words that compose them. Apart the words mean little, but together they can describe a persons goals for their one and only life. I read the Poem " A dream within a dream", and although there were parts i did not understand the poem as a whole made sense. Poe was just longing to keep hold of the things that fade from life for just one more moment. I think we all wish we could have just one more moment with something that has faded from our lives, but in the end all things fade and become mearly dust in the wind. So we should not focus on what we did not get accomplished, rather we should focus on accomplishing much more with the opprotunites to come.
