Merry Mind

MERRY MIND

Your heart is merry
your cheeks are cherry
with joy as ripe as berry
your lip drip with jelly.

Ours is a resounding congratulation
on your successful admission
we will be there during your matriculation
with more tears of joy at your graduation.

Sleep not before the light of knowledge
education is not a pie or sausage
its worth is not a pen to borrow
its legacy lives on after tomorrow.

Congratulations! Our earnest prayer
cultivate the habit, be a priceless reader
Read, don't  depend on any, be the reader
in the way you have sown, you will be a reaper.
(from a heart that cares: Edoja faith)
