Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Glad to see
you've finally reached the end!
Remember: This is only the beginning.
Although at times you felt your wheels just
spinning,
Days are worth precisely what you spend.
Ultimately, everything you learn
Adorns you with the beauty of its being,
Teaches you anew the thrill of seeing,
Invites you to be charmed at every turn,
Opening your mind and heart to things.
Nor would you know, except the knowledge
sings.
