Years of My Life

A Journey from 1944 to … Now

2015–2016 School Year
Retired

I think in “school years”—as you see.
It just makes sense somehow to me.
Since 1949, you know,
I’ve gone to school, with books in tow.

A student first, a teacher next—
A life I loved (in most respects).
And now, retired, this calendar
Is still the one I most prefer.

So as this series nears its end—
I trust that you are still my friend?
And not so bored with all I’ve done
That I have lost you, all and one?

Tomorrow I will write about
Where things now stand—the things I doubt,
The things that I’m most certain of—
Like reading, thinking, learning. Love.
