Graduation Is a Time

June 23, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is graduation, in honor of the many elementary, middle-school, and high-school graduations taking place this month.

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

A graduation poem from parents to their child:

Graduation is a time

For feeling very proud,

For thinking lots of lovely thoughts

And saying them out loud.

It's a time for feeling love

About to overflow,

And just before it leaps its banks,

To let the loved one know.

And so we’re very proud of you

For being who you are,

For making something of yourself,

For making it this far.

We’re proud because we are a part

Of everything you do.

This time's the time to say how much

Love we have for you.
