Finishing school during the coronavirus has evoked mixed feelings, and frankly, is anti-climactic. But, this morning’s sunshine and crisp air cleared my head and inspired me to write this poem.
This spring, thousands will graduate But the coronavirus will not define our fate Although we won’t walk across a stage It is time to turn the page Brains filled with new knowledge From towering stacks of books bought in college Will guide us through life’s next chapter And journeys unknown thereafter Most will celebrate their achievement from home And tune in to virtual commencements via Google Chrome Graduation-in-place is an unusual way But it’s important to do so until the virus is at bay This semester is one to remember But, fellow graduates, Know that this adversity makes you stronger than ever.
