Childhood Sweetheart I just let her slip away my grip got so weak‚ I think about her each hour each day each week We grew up together ending so far apart‚ as the distance grew further it broke my heart Even if you were a million miles away‚ the love that I feel grows each and every day I wait by the phone hoping to hear you call‚ a text an email no nothing at all I hear from friends that you moved onto someone new‚ but they’ll never give as much love as I’d give to you

Because of transcendentalism‚ our world received a new perspective. Those who have became “free thinkers” and have intellectually questioned the “normal” or the “worlds opinion” have gave us opened gates to new mental worlds. Although that path to those rigorous gates may be challenging and may result in defeat‚ its those courageous individuals who have kept striving to get those doors that have changed the world. Although the path may be dangerous‚ the discovery and entrance of the new world

The poem “Mother to Son‚” by Langston Hughes‚ is about a mother advising her son about life. She tells him that life is not easy and that he should not give up even when life is hard. Throughout the poem she uses an extended metaphor to compare life as a decayed stair.

Helen Keller which states: “When one door of happiness closes‚ another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” I feel that this epitomises what Larkin was portraying in the poem ’Dockery and Son’; a feeling of regret and a wondering of what the ’other door’ might hold.
