A Tribute To My Alma Mater

CELEBRATING A BOLD LEGACY

© Dee Freeman 2/19

A Structure, a Scholar, a Student!!

This Structure has left behind a legacy, wherein we all trust,

A bequest of facts and skills of which we desperately thirsted

The Scholar’s goals...create leaders in this and other communities

The Student could then, venture out to alter destinies with humility

The intent was of Strength,

Commitment, Understanding

Devotion and Reflection

The successes enjoyed from these efforts,

Propelled us all in the right directions

It has been evident those who taught us, did so through a labor of love, Doing so, conscientiously, as shepherded and bestowed from above

Foresight molded, guided and orchestrated such determination,

Herein the confines of our hearts and minds

Our ancestors peer down, their challenge...Leave no one behind
