The College is your Ancestral Farm

You’ve come back to see if a few old hands
still work their fields, making hay to fill
the big barn of the library.

Remember your chores here, in sun
and rain, the mornings of mist
and the nights, long nights of labor?

On these cobblestones, you were young.
This tree sheltered you when rain came.
On this path, laughter. At this door, a kiss.

In these shadows, a great yearning:
Who will I be? At this window, a vision
and a vow: I will be true to my dreams.

So, now, with friends to this ground,
you can say, My calling called me away.
Now I circle back to who I will be.
