Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. Since this is a week when many colleges and universities have their
graduation ceremonies, the theme for this week is graduation.
Today’s poem encourages students to take demanding courses
on their way to a degree.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Graduation shouldn’t be
too easy,
Reducing the repute of
the degree.
Although some courses
might make you feel queasy,
Dreams need stairs to
reach reality.
Ultimately, what matters
is what you
Are capable of, your
knowledge and your skill.
These years are only
worth what you can do;
If you can’t, no piece of
paper will.
On you is laid the burden
of your fate.
Now’s your chance to learn to bear the weight.
