School Daze

The School Year

With teachers, books and a single pen
I’m desperately waiting for this school year to end.
I’ve learned all my teachers by heart.
And they taught me the importance to finish what I start.
They told me over and over not to cheat.
And they sometimes said I might get an incomplete.
I was always doing papers over and over again
Then they would give them back.
I don’t know how they managed but they always kept me on track.
It would be hard for me to learn new teachers again.
I love the old ones
To start again all over
Not knowing who you are going to meet.
There will be that one special teacher to get you back on your feet.
Many teachers may wonder how I get by
Because they might not know my feelings of how hard I try
You stayed after class to help me
I need to say thank you for all the extra things that you do
Because I don’t know what I’d do without you
I look up to you and you are my guiding light
And if I made mistakes you are there to correct me and tell me everything is alright.
I made it this far
I want that degree.
Its right there, I see it in my future
And its staring at me.
I have to thank all my instructors
Who have been there for me
Thanks for helping me through this it has been so far my plan
You have been there through it all and are my #1 fan.
I’m on a ladder to life
And it doesn’t seem to have a top
I will keep on climbing because there doesn’t seem to be a stop.
Because I’ve learned that learning has no end.
And when I graduate I plan to come back and find a friend.
I keep climbing higher and higher.
I will never rest.
I can’t stop until
I am the very best.
Because you have got all that I need
It will start growing in my future and help me succeed.
So I just wanted to say thanks.
