Longer Than Eternity

From Kindergarten through eighth grade seems longer than Eternity High School turns the corner in a couple years the last two zoom by, like a frightened deer College is a grind; you really have to think... looking back you see -- it vanished in a wink Your twenties and thirties may ebb and flow it matters what you do and where you go... They told me, 'Life begins at forty, sir' ~ Now I'm eighty; 'twas all a blur

The last two years of high school "like a frightened deer" - this is exactly how it is, yet, do we know it then? No. Later. Nice one, dear eighty year old. Laughing now.
