Schooled Excellence

Days of learning,
Teachers of value and kindness,
The language foreign and then familiar,
English, a refined mode of learning,
That leads to higher education,
Favorite teachers that mentored comprehension,
Crests and awards to recognize achievement,
The blessing to be there with friends,
Choirs and drama,
Sports and athletics,
Normal progression,
With some exemplary results,
Humble fashions with excellence,
Graduations you reflect on,
Days and nights with parents and relatives,
Simply miraculous,
God's blessing.

I graduated college at age 43 and was holding my first grandson. My family surrounded me with love. Keep writing. Sara
