To My Sister on Her Graduation

June 21, 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 a younger sister or brother to an older sister:

To my sister on her graduation:

Old memories are a movie starring you.

Much of me is shaped by our relation,

Years and years of watching what you do.

So like two trees alone upon a meadow,

Interplaying with the rain and sun,

Shaped by the turning earth through light and shadow,

The growth of two becomes the growth of one.

Even as you enter your new life,

Remember how we shared the morning light.
