I sat in the cool evening sun
Basking in the dying glory of a beauty
Reminiscing on how glory filled was the sun
Then remembering I shouldn’t feel pity
Because it now fades back into oblivion smoothly
Mother once told me about a word
Mother said it will Enlighten and Educate
If only I will always allow it have a word
With me even at seventy years of age

Mother said when making a Decision it will stand
So that I can better the world Understand
It will help me with Communication
To get that much deserved Attention
Showcasing that enhanced and polished Talent
Discovered with the right Interaction
With much more enhanced and polished talents
Who supports an Originality in creation
Of a new and understated reality
Soon to take center stage
This, Mother promised, will bring Notability
Through any and many to come age
Mother was right
Mother was always right
Now as her name and face fade
Her memory and voice strongly remain
Now today I stand
Representing what education is
Being able to communicate even with an island
Telling all that learning never ceases
Until the day you cease to exist
