Scholarly
To be scholarly
Means taking a long journey
But I am willing.
Take Advantage of Life Early
A boy in school is not a child behind bars
He is free, free to pick and choose
He has the right to reach for the stars
But he definitely cannot lose
Commitments are made
Whether academics, sports, music, or art
But all four together is when one should be afraid
The schedule is full from the start
But against all that doubt
He who can succeed
Should let out a shout
And be proud of that deed
Everyone tries this, but few ever accomplish it
Those who do, your future is lit.
Knowledge is the Key
The thirst for knowledge
Is a personal drive that
Encourages you
To reach as high as you can
Only you can stop yourself
