Grateful for What We Have Learned

May 15, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is graduation since many colleges and universities have their graduations in May.

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

A graduation poem about the need for lifelong learning:

Grateful for what we have learned,
Ready now to start
A life in which what we will earn
Depends upon the heart.
Underneath our new degrees
Are habits, knowledge, skill,
That are essential qualities
In anyone who will
One day look back upon this day
Needing learning still.
