I sing to myself <br />The world is my dream <br />And I am happy with my own nonsense- <br /> <br />I am old now <br />I need not climb mountains <br />But I never was able to anyway- <br /> <br />The world is a big place <br />Bigger than me and my mind <br />I don’t mind if it doesn’t understand me- <br /> <br />Let me go singing to my grave <br />This I pray to God <br />Let me at least have that <br />That I not be a terrible burden to those I love <br />That I not die in incoherence- <br /> <br />But that I go singing quietly <br />With Gratitude to God and so many good people <br />For all the Blessings and Love <br /> I have had in my life.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-laugh-at-who-i-am/
