Notes About The Poem

The Bridge Across To Dreams

I needn't tell you, dearest fledgling
      To stay in school. I needn't remind you 
        That education is the bridge across 
        To dreams, to an auspicious future

    If you quit before graduation, the bridge 
    Comes crumbling down, and you're stuck 
    At the edge of destiny, wishing you could
      Fly over to the other side like an Eagle

          Do you want to reach the zenith
     Of your aspirations? Do you want wings
    To soar around the sun with, and not fall
             Out of the sky like Icarus?

 If so, stay in school; lest you're left stranded
 Looking over at goals once tantalizingly close
   Finish your education and earn your wings
        And get the keys to your kingdom
