Eighteen years ago, a Halloween 'morn
With eyes of baby blue, Iyla was born
She grew, we knew, she came from the best stock
Perfect pedigree, Neikirk and Peacock
Her nature's in Nature, Earth and water
She loves travel and all that it's taught her
San Miguel stay nine months she did venture
Wait what!?!?! A Tanzanian adventure
Now high school grad, college credit galore
Time to decide what is next and in store
True team player saving funds for first year
Fashion, business...or both? Find her career
Sweet Iyla! The world is out there for you!!
SO proud! 'Tis the fam loves you through and through
I was going to become a teacher
I thought it was my calling
I was young and thought it best
to go to university straight out of high school
before I'd go to teachers' college
Well... things did not go as planned
for better or for worse, who knows
I got sidetracked ended up taking a job
education got shelved for longer than expected
So I worked and launched a modest career
No guidance maybe no brains ~ who knows
But in the end I realized the truth ~
if you don't choose, life chooses for you
Go for your dreams or risk living with regrets

Today is the first day of school
the summer too short at the pool
school days are long
this is so wrong
I think going to school isn’t cool
My father insists that I go
though I argued loud with a No
I squawk and squirm
I’m no bookworm
sure I know all there is to know
Dad threatened to kick me out
no matter my perfect pout
I’m no fool
went to school
now the classics I can spout
At university I excelled
never an instance was I expelled
got the knowledge
finished college
at graduation my Dad’s heart swelled
She awoke to dawn’s crispy rising,
her head filled with tasks for the day
and what she found surprising,
the time was here, come what may.
The eventful night must be perfection.
It was in the planning for ages.
Each detail sans objection,
having gone through many stages.
This graduation was like no other,
her eldest son with top honor.
Recalling his small voice, “Mother”,
a melancholy fell upon her.
The evening came, a noted benchmark.
The gaiety of youth lit the sky with dreams,
each other’s thought became hope’s spark.
A mother’s tears glittered down in streams.
A college degree is good to have
but it doesn't guarantee you anything
...except in some cases debt!
A chapter ends in cap and gown. What lies ahead? Turn the page and write.

Tommy's grade point is under.
His SAT's... a disgrace.
Mommy's paid off the college in cash (just in case)
One can't lower the bar to let rats in the race
and then wonder why rodents are running the place!

"They are a little rambunctious, " Mr. Pete said. He was a small man, quite wee.
Mr. Dass rolled his eyes, giving me a better perspective, no soap in the sink.
"They have scared three big, bad male teachers off since September," Mr. Dass told me.
Both of their faces were almost burgundy red now, they tried hard, bright-eyed, and curiously pink.
"I would like to try it," I told them. "I'm not easily scared," I said with all of my masterful me.
I ended up teaching the drafting students for three years, we went through gobs of ink.
"This was the most difficult one credit hour class I ever took in my life," one of my charges told me.
Three years into it, and neither Mr. Pete or Mr. Dass had told me this, I gave the student a wink.
