A Journey from
1944 to … Now
2001–2002 School Year
Western Reserve Academy
Back at Reserve—oh, there I was
Where I had been those years ago.*
And I enjoyed it—all because
The kids were great—my life, aglow.
I taught some seniors—juniors too.
And I was busy, dawn to dawn.
And so it was that weeks just flew—
And soon that school year just was gone.
I knew right then that I could not
Teach full-time—oh, no, not again.
I hardly knew what I had taught—
I slept so rarely—now and then.
And so … part-time it had to be
From that year forth. So them I told.
Their “Yes” came with alacrity.
And I was happy (getting old!).
