A Dream Within a Dream
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?

Can anyone tell me what happened to Mike Hoover? This is the first I've heard about his death, and he was a close friend of mine in High School.Carla Mitchell (Meisinger)
Mike developed a very rare disease that attacked his intestines, shortly after our 10 year. He had most of his intestines removed, and was in a rehab hospital for weeks. He never fully recovered, and developed an infection (I believe), and lost his battle.Kerri Burn (Worrick)
Mike was Married and Left behind a son named Trent, who is now 10.Dena Cullen (Sparks)
