A Journey from
1944 to … Now
2009–2010 School Year
Western Reserve Academy
Penultimate—yes, that’s the
word
That fits in well right here.
For this would be (as I would learn)
The sunset (my career!).
I loved that year—yes, once again.
The classes, kids, and all.
I knew it from the very first—
The early days of fall.
In fact, I’d planned (before that year)
That I would then retire—
But I enjoyed that year so much
I tossed plans in the fire.
Another year! Yes, sure I can!
I’ll just go on and on!
But Life had other plans for me—
And confidence was gone.
My cancer numbers—up they went.
The freaking thing returned.
And so I once again retrieved
Those plans I thought I’d burned.
