Graduation by BJ Neblett

Proms, graduation and memories... it's that time of year again. Here is an oldie especially for the season. Enjoy and be sure to like, link, comment and share the love. And thanks to all for making last week's post on my author blog so popular. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do so. It is another random chapter from my forthcoming memoir A Change Is Gonna Come.

Graduation

Out of darken corners

Of beauty and of light

We send you forth our battles

To fight with guns of knowledge

To defend your wisdom walls

Built upon books of learning

Mortared by trials and falls

Of ideas seeking ideas

Of thoughts seeking minds

To plant the seed of knowledge

To seek and yet to find

The war not nearly over

The battle’s just begun

And heroes being made of those

Who dare to think as one
