Of so many things for so many things
of this i dream
for it seems to me that time given to me, should be free
for this i feel. that I as a man of so many things
for so many things I can. To dream is not so hard to do,
it seems to be a funny kind of a thing
To learn is not so hard to do
but to remember is altogether something new
To love is not so hard, it seems
to be a funny kind of a thing,
but to really live,that's a hell of a dream.

Author notes
This was written in 1972. and read to my senior classmates. The Class did not understand it. This was My senior year in High school. Later I went on to Collage,and majored in psychology. The Psychology professor had to read it several times to understand it. But after awhile it made sense to her. Her comments on the subject was to say,"very deep". But most simple things are,esp the one's that need no explanation. she also learned me a frew things about human behavior. The Whole world ain't crazy,but some people are!!(smile) But let's not judge them by our standards,let's try judging them by their own standard's of behavior.
Please tell me what you think

Wow, I must agree with the teacher. This is deep. I had to read it many times, line by line, but everytime the last sentence got stronger. I love what you have written about, things like love and learning are not too hard to do, but really living, thats something else. Well done, this is very thought provoking.
