Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Diploma and Backpack Full of Hope

The universe lay at his feet
        Sun brilliant o'erhead
     The ocean stretches forever
        Wheat fields before him spread

     Armed with a diploma
        and a backpack full of hope
     Will his stride be bold ~
        his handiwork produce gold

P.S. Awtry December 6, 2021 at 10:12 PM Gotta envy the young and those fresh diplomas and backpacks! This could be a song :)

Anselmo Boles December 6, 2021 at 7:37 PM LOL! Sorry, I didn't mean to sound too dramatic Gershon. I think I need a new backpack...ab

Anselmo Boles December 6, 2021 at 7:29 PM You ask a real important question Gershon! I say, "Those who do not restrain themselves from the limitations of what organic matter bequeaths, get rewarded with priceless spiritual gold" Gershon Wolf December 7, 2021 at 6:06 PM What you say sure is a mouthful, Anselmo. Are you sure you didn't write it?! lol. Thanks, gw

Anil Deo December 6, 2021 at 6:26 PM Yes, hope is helpful, essential for humans. Sadly, teachers and learners are both less patient with holistic education. Blessings. anil Gershon Wolf December 7, 2021 at 6:05 PM Hope and help win the arms race, in my book! Thanks, Anil.

Valsa George December 6, 2021 at 6:10 PM Love the expression a 'back pack full of hope' . Hope his hopes will fruition! Gershon Wolf December 6, 2021 at 6:25 PM Here's my thought: If his hopes do not come to fruition, he will have sure wasted a lot of tuition!

Bill Baker December 6, 2021 at 5:29 PM You painted a good picture for us Gershon. I hope he enjoys the adventure of life. Write On! Bill Gershon Wolf December 6, 2021 at 6:26 PM Me too. I hope he stretches his mind and doesn't get stuck in the muck and the mire of bureaucracy!
