Severance Poem by Keith Langdon

Severance



Severance
Over the years,
the hands, now slightly arthritic
and wrinkled by the many multiples
of 180 plus days,
have developed a firm and steady grip
on the compass of countless young lives.
Thank you, Lord,
for slowly, gently, but persistently
prying those fingers free,
opening them to tomorrow.

Pretty good poem, im guessing that it might have to do with a teacher going through with many years of teaching
