The time is now upon me, br To once again return, br From the realms that I resided, br To a place that I can learn. br br I come down as an empty sponge, br To a life that I must live, br Absorbing all the lessons, br With the knowledge I can give. br br The years start quickly rolling br From an infant to a lad, br Then, through the teenage years of fun, br Such a joyous time I had. br br I’ve seen my children all grown up, br With children of their own, br And looking back with pride and joy, br At the seeds that I have sown. br br When my learning span is over br And I reach my final day. br I will gather up the knowledge, br And move forward on my way.
