More Precious Than Gold
The script of experience,
endorsing our wills
banking our choices,
paying our bills
Crediting our memory
for what lies ahead
debentures of faith
the black and the red
A ledger retallied,
both columns in sync
the plus and the minus,
indelible ink
Its summary left open,
all errors erased
with loans to push forward
—new funding in place
(Rosemont College: December, 2021)
