School is Planning

School is cool
School is mean
Sometimes you wish
You didn't have to do anything
Just sit back, relax and enjoy the show
"Til the teacher asks for the answer
You wish for no homework, no tests,and more importantly no school.
But then it goes by
Year after year
Grade after grade
School after school
By then you're no longer small
But big and strong
You take on the beast head on
Oh..... Where did the time go?
I don't know
At the beginning you were making new friends
Then it was trying new things
Next was balancing everything
Now its planning for your future
But you've got to answer some big questions
Like what do you want to be?
A vet
A firefighter
A police officer
A teacher
A writer
A painter
An explorer
Do you want to travel before the beast?
Do you want to have kids after the beast?
Do you want a house during or after?
There's so many questions to answer and many others to ask
You're probably thinking "How can I do all this?"
Well you've been training or planning without even thinking
Through school
All the homework
All the field trips
All the tests
All the activities
Everything you've done in the past has prepared you for future or the beast
Or as we parents like to call it collage.
We've prepared you for it and for so much more.
