An Ode to Graduating Seniors

admin, May 4, 2010June 16, 2017

You made it, you’re done
with the finals, done
with the papers, done
with the blue books, the pencils, the classes;
you’re done, done, done, done.

But are you really?

Does education end
with graduation – are the two
synonymous and entwined?
Will you never
pick up a book again, will you never
write a story, will you never
learn for the sake of learning?
Will you never
see old friends, old lovers; will your
interests die and
never
be reborn? Will you get
a job and never
look back, never
wonder about what might have been,
what might still be? Will you never
regret being done?

I like to hope
that we will stay
in touch; I like to hope
that you will find a good book
and read it just for fun; I hope
you will stay active, I hope
you will create, I hope
that being done
doesn’t necessarily mean
that you’re through. 

Yours always,
UConn
