A Leaf of Education

"A leaf of education"
Go under that shade,
So the sun won't burn through,
The pages of your chapter,
Learn and earn ways to live,
For no one will take care of you,
Besides yourself.So pick up a book,
And read so you see how to be,
For the world is getting bigger,
And tougher each and every day,
Is now a struggle,so polish your brain,
With wisdom and knowledge,
Love and respect those to teach you,
For they know better,
Time is ticking so don't waste it,
Under that tree of life,
Pick up that leaf of education,
For it will carry you through....
