Years of My Life

A Journey from 1944 to … Now

1991–92 School Year
Harmon Middle School

Another 8th Grade Show this spring—
I loved them more than anything.

But life was complicated now—
My energy would fade somehow.

And I was working hard right then
To write some books, for I had been

Out to a summer seminar
In California—very far!

And there, with London scholars, I
Had spent a lot of dollars—why?

Jack London, writer—I had filed
So much about his book—The Wild

The Call—the North—the dog named Buck—
And I was hoping I’d have luck

And publish all I’d learned and found—
And so I did. (I like the sound

Of that.)
