I have tried sleeping with earplugs, changing mattresses, taking over-the-counter sleep aids. Nothing bothers me more than being jerked awake 4 or 5 houirs before I'm supposed to wake up. Chalk it up to getting older - or living with a roommate who's an early bird - but I haven't had quality sleep for the longest time. Noise-cancelling headphones seem like a good thought, but I'm afflicted with the curse of sleeping on my stomach. I may try putting my box fan over on my headboard to get some more ambient noise by my head. Otherwise, I'm at a loss.
A boy has the right to dream. There are endless possibilities stretched out before him. What awaits him down the path he will then have to choose; the boy doesn't always know. At some point the boy then becomes an adult, and learns what he was able to become. Joy and sadness will forever accompany this. He is confronted with a choice; when this happens, does he bid his past farewell in his heart? Once a boy becomes an adult, he can no longer go back to being a boy; the boy is now a man. Only one thing can be said: "A boy has the right to dream.". For those endless possibilities are stretched out before him.
We must remember...all men were once boys.
