R for Ready for Resilience
walking slowly confident and steadfastnot really aware of the surroundings
flushed with a feeling of magnanimity
gleefully ready for resilience joy and satisfaction
knowing fully well the struggle
long hours of sweat and tears
is now over, victory in hand
on commencement day

The readiness is almost palpable in this quadrille, Hank. I especially like the line: ‘flushed with a feeling of magnanimity’. If only everyone felt like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great capture of the emotion of commencement day! Well said.

I could feel the sense of accomplishment and empowerment, especially in this line... "flushed with a feeling of magnanimity". What a great use of the word. I feel sorry for all those unable to hold their graduation/commencement ceremonies at this time.
