Long, so very long ago when I was
in 7th grade, a popular song was “If I Had a Hammer” by Peter, Paul,
and Mary. My friends and I were becoming
more aware of social and political events, and this song spoke to this new
discovery.
We would sing this song non-stop
during lunch break until the rest of the class told us/threatened us to
stop. But the words still rang and I
remembered them for years.
Now, I look at that song and
wonder what I would do if I had a hammer.
I am now a realist, where then I was a dreamer.
I am a conservative, where back then I was a
pure socialist.
My dreams are more
esoteric, where then my dreams seemed unlimited.

What would I do with that dang
hammer? Being pragmatic/practical, I
would repair the balcony. I would build
a fairy play house for my granddaughters.
My hammer would be used to smash irritating nails or pots or blocks of
rock-hard ice.
What would you do with your own dang hammer? Are you still a dreamer and think of your own
hammer metaphorically?
