These Are My JOTtings...

The Noyes: "The Graduate's Life"

The end will start the new.
The days of child have passed.
The view
of Life is broad at last.

The parents' arms are strong.
Their wisdom sets the tone.
The song
she sings is not alone.

The cliff provides the place.
Her plane will soar above.
What Grace
succeeds from lasting Love!

The Letting Go provides
a bond forever true.
She hides
in hearts forever new.

The birth of babe is first
as separations start.
The Thirst
for Christ is safety's part.
