I once heard that you never put to use
what you have learned
until well after you have learned it
It could be true
It could be false
But no matter what
I have learned a great deal
But it always meant a great deal to you
for you always had a common theme
I may not have talked very much
But contrary to popular belief
I screamed inward to talk out
But never did
You have presented your views to the class
Some listened
Some did not
Some are steadfast in their own beliefs
My own mind sat up and listened
And I still struggle with it
My mind wants to be the silent majority
but I do not
And for all things said and done
I say that i have learned a great deal
And I am glad to have met you
