Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. Since many colleges and universities hold their graduation ceremonies
this week, this week’s theme is graduation.
Today’s poem is about the need for lifelong learning.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Grateful for what we have learned,
Ready now to start
A life in which what we will earn
Depends upon the heart.
Underneath our new degrees
Are habits, knowledge, skill,
That are essential qualities
In anyone who will
One day look back upon this day
Needing learning still.
