Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. - Mark Twain

L is for the laughter and the love and the lies and the things that keep firm.
I is for the industry and the interests and the ideas that are behind everything.
F is for all the friends left so far behind, and all those kept close and strong.
E is for the end of the poem, for the education that life gives us, the education we can only experience by living.
