Tom Wright Poet Lyric

Be the Acorn That Grows

Be The Acorn That Grows
By: Tom Wright
4/26/04

Of all the acorns that in the forest fall,
taking their place upon fertile ground.
Scant will emerge to be an oak tree tall,
no trace of the others will ere be found.
And
Of all the seniors that graduate this may,
seeking from life their place or calling.
Giant oaks some will grow to be one day,
while others advance not far from falling.

Written for a special senior
