Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan
GRADUATION DAY GEORGETOWN LAW
We watched as our son climbed up the platform to receive his diploma at Georgetown Law school
in Washington DC. Undergraduate work at Washington State College in Pullman. I was thinking
back to the day I walked to campus in Ellensburg Washington. Later My wife and I meeting at
Central Washington College. The dreams of life being fulfilled as we stood proud at our son's
graduation and his life begins.
Today begins a new generations trip to higher learning
Blue skies, a brook, a bumble bee;
Seen on the walk we took you and me.
I wrote, "I love you!" upon your palm,
The words out a ripple back so calm.
A lady bug---a tiny garden snake,
Things of which our dreams we make.
So pity those who have never known,
An embryo,an infant now fully grown.
Danny a child that came from our seed,
To face the world in its time of need.
A world that begins in cap and gown,
Once begun in the love we both had found,
On a day we met and shared an Especial look,
On the trail we took near a sparkling brook.
