Been a long time.I've made mistakes, new friends, and lemon pound cake.
No longer am I a starving college student
Now I'm just starving;
For knowledge and homemade chicken noodle soup.
Not just buds in the mouth, but on the brain too.
Need to read,
need to learn,
need to memorize,
need to run faster,
jump higher,
and love harder
Time has somehow made me older than the young adults that I teach
But not always wiser.
How much you can learn from an eleven year old
about hopes
about wishes
about dreams
about magic
It's time to take flight
And left my feet leave the pavement.
