Thank You for Being Where All These Years Went

May 3, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since many colleges and universities have their graduation ceremonies in early May, the theme for this week is College Graduation.

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

A thank-you and graduation poem thanking teachers for the gift of their knowledge:

Thank you for being where all these years went.

Happiness comes from the people we are,

And so much of what we are now comes from here,

Nearby our hearts still, our minds still ajar.

Knowledge is wealth that can never be spent.

Years from this day, as we search for some star,

Over us clouds, our harried heads bent,

Unthinking, some long-ago wind will skies clear.
