Degree's In?


Now I love words, I really do,
Love to see them transpire on the page!
And yep, I have to say it…
It seems some of mine are all the rage!
Degree's…let me see what I have?
Well, I have none, no degrees at all!
All I really have about me;
Are my certificates on the wall!

But they are only certificates,
Not degree's, not at all…oh no,
For the only degree's that I posses,
Are hidden, and not on show…
I don't profess to be anything special,
And you will never hear a lie from me,
For I am all that I am - and more;
What you get is all that you see!

I'll never pretend to be something I'm not,
For all I am, and all you'll ever see;
Is this simple minded lass here,
Typically, just little old me!
Nope, I never went to University,
All I ever did was a GCSE…
On what subject you ask yourself?
Well, words!  What else would it be!

I write as I speak; no more, no less,
There is no false about me!
For all I am, is all I am…
And I am all that I want to be!
So nope, I don't have an official document,
Only the life I live and the path I tread,
And to me, that's more than a degree!
It's the experience on the life we've led?

We don't need a certificate to tell us-
That we have a degree for us on show,
For we all have a degree, a degree on life!
For a degree is in everything thing that we know!
So basically what I am saying is;
We are what we are, and what's on show;
Is a degree in life and its trials and more…
And basically, that's in everything we know!

So yes, it really is a fact…
I don't have a University degree!
All I have is the life that I live-
And that's 'a degree on life' to you and me!
