From 5th grade to 8th grade
I learned more about life
Than all my time in school
For within those four short years
I learned about love
A forever student to the golden rule
Because love of various levels
Part of everyday life
Teachings of social living
Being compassionate
Caring for one another
A positive effort in giving
But from 1967 to 1971
I learned many life lessons
My internal driving gears
Most importantly
The time I spent with Sharon
Four years
