This is a classic, formal, professional, and not mentioning AWESOME poem. He is one heck of a pessimistic poet though. =)

Star light, star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

So seldom
Say I love you
Then
It's either too late
Or love goes
So when I tell you
I love you
It doesn't mean
I know you'll never go
Only that
I wish you didn't have to
by Matthew Arnold
The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full; the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; -- on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the �g�an, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furl'd.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
(an excerpt from a song by MxPx - but not sure. . .SORRY!)
How will I get through tomorrow
If I can't make it through today
How will I get through tomorrow
When today is in my way?
Author probably legendary but Unknown
There is this guy named Bart
Who really liked to fart
He went into the room
And let out a BLOOM
And blew the house apart
by Sophia Tong
what if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the wind refused to blow?
what if the seas refused to wave?
what if the world refused to turn?
what if the stars would hesitate?
what if what is isn't true?
does that mean you've got to lose?
by Christina
I think about forever
About the years to come
I think about tomorrow
How one day there'll be none
I think about yesterday
And all my selfish acts
And wish that I could change the things
That I've done in the past
I think about the present-
'Bout where I am today-
Those things I know I shouldn't do
But do them anyway
If you really think about it
Forever's not that long
You're born, you live a little
And then one day you're gone
All good things come to an end
So life must find one, too
I just hope forever
Doesn't come too soon...
