Poem

“To be or not to be: that is the question”*
Shakespeare’s wise words, worthy of introspection…
Such was first brought to my young mind’s discretion
During an English grammar class instruction
When teacher in her earnest presentation
Discussed “infinitives” to their full fruition.

In my high school poetry recitation
That line echoed with mirth’s retrospection
As it reigned along distinct elocution
In grand oratorical recognition
I gained despite stage-fright’s attack- affliction
For confident, convincing enunciation.

Its essence drove my being into action
Through productive student participation
Midst conflict confrontation and solution 
Facing the opposition’s proposition
While defending with prudent circumspection
Attainment of triumphant culmination.

My college literature was no exemption
For its intellectual reverberation…
“To be or not to be: that is the question”*
Was voiced in dignified articulation
I took as valued leadership direction 
Toward assured vision realization.

Now as lecturer in Communication
I’m called to project such with love’s devotion
Having been bestowed virtuous provision
By God’s grace, wisdom, power and compassion
Living well by faith that “to be ”** assertion
Abounding in gratitude’s satisfaction.

*Line from Hamlet of William Shakespeare

**1Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
