"...All that we see or
seem
is but a dream within
a dream”

a Dream” Edgar Allan Poe
He
came with a dream
not
just to make a living
but
to make a life

Thank you, Dziaziu,
for dreaming the dream…
Today the image took me to my paternal grandfather who immigrated from Poland in the early 1900's, and was owner & proprietor of a small grocery store in Vermont.
