Resurrection
Know your heart, your mind, your soul.
Nothing is gain'd lest life be your goal,
Other-wise men will plunder, sow and reap.
What harvest remains are brains upon heap.
Learn that wisdom seeks repose in your heart.
Education is important in giving you life's start.
Do not betray yourself thinking life is yours,
Giving up the school of thought, closing all the doors;
Ebb tide will wash away what once you thought was yours.
'D' is for dunce but you KNOW you are better than that.
'I' is for intelligent, now we KNOW that's a fact.
'S' is for school where one studies to learn.
'P' is for pages of life yet to turn.
'E' is for exams that cause earthquake, wind and fire.
'L' is for lessons when taught can inspire.
'S' is for students taken to the wire.
For life is but a journey that takes you on and on,
Entering the unknown so be strong, be strong.
After a while your confidence will flourish,
Resurrection will have its day, so never be discouraged.
