"To You"1

To sit and dream, to sit and read,
To sit and learn about the world
Outside our world of here and now—
     our problem world—
To dream of vast horizons of the soul
Through dreams made whole,
Unfettered free—help me!
All you who are dreamers too,
     Help me to make
     Our world anew.
I reach out my hands to you.
