71 What I Missed from School

71.

What I Missed from School



If I've been not in school

Surely I missed a lot

Not only the brain tool



I'll point to the people

Whose influence could make

Life more valuable



Were they my teachers?

And/or my classmates

Or other superiors?



They could be among them

Those whose passion, talents

Skills, likes – with me the same



They were also the ones

Whose dreams and ambitions

Could be also my wants



Was afraid to reveal

What are truest in me

Harder still to conceal.
