Penning this poem was a complete surprise to me and I did so with the spirit of capturing what school and classmates mean, not only during our attendance of attending school, but throughout our lives as well.

Even with our,"school years," the aspects and dynamics change with both maturity and experiences, and not necessarily for the better. I felt I was in a unique position to become a poetic scribe for this and that the sestina is one of the best forms for such a poem.

Another classmate, Karen Powers Bolling is a contributing inspiration as she supplied me with three of the ending words of, "timeless, treasured, and Cherished."
