Summa Cum Laude
Summa Cum Laude Forget not the struggles, Rabbis with fervor, a gospel of love - Arousing feelings of horror at God’s sanctuary, The surprise of impromptu tests; Paving a broad way of mines deep in your soul. Forget not the haunting midnight flames Bleary eye impregnated with fatigue The tremors preceding those rock-hard papers. How you loosed and bound the demons of carryover Lurking behind towering walls of books. Forget not the Oath, Becoming battle-ready like a soldier’s creed, Your baptism, at the river Jordon – The birth place of the greatest disciples A virgin ground to nurture our faith. Forget not the tears, Daubing every script on the day of trial. The fragments of heart breaks; The making of great acquaintances, Upon the hill we walk.
