Be Leaving of Age

How old you turn isn’t the age you are, but the age you are is how old you turn Lessons only 9,131 days under the Sun could burn The only degree is learned or unlearned No first, second, or third Today is my day whether or not it’s conferred When it’s over I’ll still attack the world bravely That doesn’t mean that failures are unchained to me I thank God for letting me live both figuratively and literally
