Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. Since many public schools will be having their graduation ceremonies this
week, the theme for this week is graduation.
Today’s poem is a graduation poem about graduating from
middle school.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Middle school is a time of yearning
For what's ahead and what is left behind:
Neither child nor adult, but burning
Unrestrained with love and fear combined.
Now that we must leave, we have the pleasure
Of moving one step nearer who we are,
Knowing that we lose the equal treasure,
Bit by bit, of leaving dreams ajar.
How lucky we have been this awkward moment,
Shifting from the shade into the sun,
To have this school as our communal parent,
Guiding us as well as you have done!
More than skills improved or knowledge gained
Are intellects inspired and gifts unchained.
