Poem
" Education paves way for future financial security. By education I mean knowledge of subject matter not just marks" - Rama Balasubramanian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I was in teens Father lost his job Tough times for family We had an ailing, bedridden grandmother While father searched for job Mother told me You concentrate on your studies You are my only hope for future I want you to earn well Finished schooling with good marks Topped school, wanted to become doctor We didn't have money Took commerce stream Did CA along with graduation Would get up early and leave home First college then CA firm Come back home late at night All free time dedicated to education Was university topper Rank holder in CA Job offers came on their own. When I gave my first salary to my mother she shed tears of joy. Finally our family problems came to an end. My hard work bore fruit Now I am holding a top position in big company I have house of my own and enough money I tell my son education is important Material processions are transient Knowledge stays forever. When I see college students not studying I feel sorry for them They don't realise the value of education Education is essential for living Education should be free for all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Knowledge makes you humble With knowledge you rarely stumble Knowledge makes you aware With knowledge you know what to beware Knowledge earns you respect With knowledge many things you don't expect Knowledge gives you confidence With knowledge you aren't over confident Knowledge makes you mature With knowledge your future is secure He who knows the most Will never ever boast He knows knowledge is vast Very little he has amassed Everything else may not stay Knowledge in mind forever stays. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 15th March 2021 Inspired by: Graduation Blessings contest by BJ Legros Kelley
