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
