Poem
Next week I am college bound An education is what I seek Further knowledge to be found In my quest I will not be meek. School days for me has long since passed For out of school I became a mother On my list education became last For me the choice was none other. These are not the days of yesteryear No having fun and going to school dances For failure is what I fear So no time for silly romances. Time to study hard and long College professors will take no excuse For homework being late or how an answer is wrong It will still be my neck in the noose. This time around there is no marching band practice All my spare time devoted to study I may seem prickly like a cactus But no time for me to be a buddy. Time to buckle down and move ahead No longer with my high school sweetheart No more dragging feet full of lead Time to give my life a brand new start. No more jobs...I desire a career My heart beats double time But please do not jeer School at my age is not a crime. Bring on English and Math Sorry my dear dear friends I am following a new path Time lost with them... will later make amends. Time for the thinking cap No worries of being a fool Even though there is a huge time gap Since the days of high school. Knowledge is power Education is key No need to be dour Law is the field for me. For John Loving III Education game...Nara Shevanna you are next dear
