Graduating Gradually

June 21, 2017

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 elementary school to middle school and then to high school.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Graduating gradually,
Rising school by school,
As I become what I will be,
Deliberately uncool.
Understanding more and more,
As I continue on,
The calling I’m intended for,
In which I’ll find my home.
Out of learning comes the dream
None but learning can redeem.
