For him


Concerning College...

 

He said, please don’t get stuck like me.

Go, reach for the stars. Do it. Please.

It’d do my heart good, to see you succeed.

Get out of this place, go, be free.

 

They said, she’ll never be able to do it.

She doesn’t have brains, charm, or whit.

It’s not very nice, but we have to admit,

Really, before you try, just go on and quit.

 

I said, it’s true that smart I’ve never been,

And it’s true that money and time are thin,

But I think if you look deep within,

You will understand, I do this for him.
