Robert L. Martin

Summa Cum Laude

 
Summa Cum Laude you received young man
On the road to widom’s academic plan.
You started on the very bottom rung
On a climb from where you have begun.
You set your sights on the highest degree.
You made it to the summit so now you see;
The road ahead grows longer and longer,
And you must keep growing stronger and stronger.
Endurance and knowledge keep pushing you on,
Taking you to the gates of wisdom and beyond.

I wrote this for The Belt and Beyond (Graduation issue)
