Education

Education begins at birth We start out learning To eat and drink Walk and talk And what it means to be loved A child entering school Just beginning to learn About language and math Friendship… ourselves And of innocent love Now we’re reaching adulthood We still can learn so much College… career Marriage and children And love from heart to soul Education even teaches at death It’s when others learn to mourn They’re ailing… health’s failing Then sadness and tears From loved ones, who’ve been left behind

I never thought it quite that way, but "life's university" is a perfect description. Have a blessed day.

Amen! Your poem is poignant and a reminder that the life that is lived is the greatest teacher.

So many believe that learning stops when you hit adulthood… little do they realize.
