In school and learning what life is about,
To go out into the world and experience;
What the treasures of life hold for you,
To understand the best that God has in school.
We try and understand wisdom in life,
But learning is about science, math and geography;
History, English and how to establish ourselves.
To live and to know, work and to grow.
In school we learn all the good things of what life is about,
To go out into the world and put them into practice;
Our teachers are taught to teach us the right way,
That we may learn how to live in the proper way.
The beautiful world holds so many treasures outside school doors,
But while in school we must study and learn information and knowledge;
To acquire us a taste of the brilliance of life,
To understand and know what beautiful things life holds.
God is like the principal, instructing and guiding our way,
To the place of creation of each and new precious day;
With the hope to be held in leaving to get work,
Or studying at university for a degree in the arts of life.
So now as we get set to leave school and go out into the world,
God grants us a blessing in all that we have learnt;
After twelve or so years at school all is accomplished,
That the seasons and directions of life are superfluous.
Signed,
New Students
