The Parents of a Graduate

May 2, 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 poem from the graduate to his or her parents for their love:

The parents of a graduate

Have much they should be proud of.

All ought to congratulate

Not our work, but their love.

Know that you have made me, me;

You shape my efforts still.

Out of your sweet certainty

Unaltered came my will.
