MATH QUIZ
(Written on
May 10, 2021. By: Karla Wagener. This poem
is for my brother Paul's birthday. I remember
once Paul and his wife, Debby, came to Albuquerque, New Mexico, when I still
lived there. Paul said, ¨I'd go to the
Sandia Crest in the tramway if you go¨. For
some reason I said no, even though I really wanted to go. I don't know why I said no and I thought
about this many times. It was an
opportunity I had lost. Paul is a person
who I believe has been very successful in life.
He has reached the Crest! When I
think of Paul I think of a person with a good sense of humor and who is terrifically good in Math. A good sense of humor is a most privileged quality
to have, (and is what real success is all about!) Math has got a good name too, but since I don't plan to build many bridges I leave it to the experts!
What about?
All the
things we missed out on?
There must
be something left unsaid
or undone?
Patience.
We need
patience.
A million,
a billion, an eternity
Lay out before
our existence -
Calling on
us to just simply believe…
And to be
pure transmitters
Of all that
which goes beyond.
So this
song goes out to you
With great awareness,
admiration,
and feeling;
You can
transmit your knowledge too.
Busting out
in song and jubilation.
We can find
the resolutions
To life's
mysterious equation!
