Selective Memory

If I could remember
Half of what I've forgot
That sure would be something 
I have forgot a lot

The older that I get
The better my life seemed
I can't tell the difference 
From real and what I've dreamed

I wonder if that's a good thing or bad thing... not being able to tell the difference. This poem is very thought provoking... aren't dreams, in a sense, real to YOU if not in the physical form. Because dreams are apart of you whether they become reality. Luck on the competition!

Hey, that sounds a lot like me. Why wonder between what is real or dreamed? Opt for the better portion. Good luck in the contest with this gem, Richard. Licia :-)
