<p align="center"><em><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">still need those few extra hours, in order to function here, not my picture.</span></span></em></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Waking these dreams up, it’s time, that these dreams start waking up slowly now, they’d been, dormant, for years, put on that backburner, because we had to, cope with the pressing reality, and now, as reality no longer pressed hard on us, we can finally, start to, live our own dreams.</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">But, these dreams are so sound asleep, that it may take a huge FIRE, scorching this house up, before they’re, able to wake, and, they still might not even wake again, because they’re all, choked, suffocated to death by the smokes rising…</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Lucida Handwriting;font-size:medium;">the light&#8217;s coming in!  Not my photo still.</span></p>

<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Waking these dreams up, I can only think of one way, by injecting new life back into them, by, picking them up, cherishing them like they were, all brand new again, but, we’d left, these dreams a very, very, very long ago, we’d even, forgotten, what they were to us, and so, these dreams shall, stay, forever in their comatose, NEVER to rise up, or to come back alive again………</span></span></p>
