My schooling was over as I was told <br />Now it was time for me of a dream to take hold <br />So I closed all of my books I finished all my classes <br />I put away my pencils and pens and cleaned off my glasses <br />I would use my education to serve me best <br />It was time for the young to earn and the weary to rest <br />I took my education with my diploma in hand <br />One day in this world I will be remembered by this stand <br />But until that day a job I must find <br />That would utilize my education and also my mind <br />No longer a philosopher or a poet would I be <br />I must pull my own weight according to my degree <br />Unto this world I must make a mark <br />As into the world of reality I would embark <br />Since my learning and education is all complete <br />It is time for me now to stand on my own two feet.<br /><br />Randy McClave<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/education-51/
