Hail to the Graduate

June 20, 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 sister to brother:

Hail to the graduate!

Looking great and feeling fit!

Oh, so proud and full of it!

This day belongs to you.

You've been a lovely friend and brother.

In fact, I wouldn't have another.

In fact, I can't -- just ask our mother.

But better? There are few.

So go along and have some fun,

Learn some new things on the run,

And should you meet some special one,

Keep me in your heart, too.
