Loving Math Is Hard To Do

Loving math is hard to do
for almost everyone.
It’s hard to keep your focus
on the problem ‘till it’s done.

But "practice makes it easier"
is something few will learn;
getting to be good at math
is something you must earn.

It’s hard and makes you concentrate
and takes a lot of time,
but in the end, it’s worth it all,
to know you've reached a prime.

So even though it's hard to do
and sometimes hurts your brain,
try to be a friend to math;
don't treat it with disdain.

You’ll be ahead of everyone and 
know some things they don’t;
You’ve given up a little time,
to be ahead of those who won’t.

Anisha Dutta June 10, 2018 at 8:45 PM First time I am reading your poem. I am a Mathematician. From childhood I like Maths having a special knack and also love poems from core of my heart. Maths never hurts brain but sharpens. It is skill of the teacher to create interest in the subject. I hope, it will be possible in near future, when major students will develop affinity for the subject. Mathematics and poetry both are equally attractive to me. Solving Maths is my activity and poetry is my recreation. Best wishes. Cary Snowden June 10, 2018 at 10:54 PM Thank you, Anisha. Sounds like you have the best of both worlds. I'm jealous of your math skill - it's an area I wish I had spent more time with, earlier. I encourage my kids to start with math, and all else will fall into place. Thanks for the note! -Cary

Robert Johnson June 10, 2018 at 5:38 PM This is the first one that I read of yours, but I wanted to read another before I commented so as to see if it was just a fluke or if your style was true. I am very pleased that it is the latter. :) Cary Snowden June 10, 2018 at 10:48 PM Wow! Thank you, Robert, for such an honorable recognition! Your note made my day. -Cary
