I didn’t know how school would go.
They kept teaching things I didn’t know.
I attended a country one room school
where older kids thought I was a fool.
When my answer was wrong they would stare
making me wish I wasn’t there
but the teacher asked them questions too
which they missed before they were through.
They were smarter than when they came
so if I studied I’d do the same.
The next year I looked at a new class
seeing what I had learned to pass.
Each year had more for me to learn
and I was filled with great concern
that I’d soon sing a different song
because I’d stayed there much too long.
I made it through my college day
so seminary came my way.
At each step I worried a lot
thinking my ignorance would get caught.
When that last diploma was earned
and I though of all I have learned
I told myself I’d finished school
and no one could call me a fool.
With school done my learning goes on
and it seems like I’m never done.
Wisdom tells us we’re always a fool
and every day we are still in school.

Funny thing is, the older you get, the less you seem to know, the more you know you have to learn.
That's how He hard wired us, I think.
