Four Years of College Tow more at grad school Those short night sleeps And grades always peeks Keeping you on the toes Competing with friends and foes. Still remember the ceremony Walking high with a hat and a gown Graduation felt like a crown Finally out on a job hunt Job market seems to be a shunt Wanting to make a career Found on to make me merrier. Boy friend ready to tie a knot I kept saying not I wanted to be myself Fearing career being on the shelf Finally gave up to get married My profession I still carried Life went on Till the baby was born. Thinking about daycare Made us aware It costs too much Is it worth as such? The only way around Was to drown the career without a sound. So here I am With the Master's Certificate on the wall And pictures in my eyes about to fall......
Reason for writing:
To share the moment, I felt as I gave up my career for my children and family. Lifes like that!!!
