Your Reservoir Of Knowledge Poem by Mary Nagy

Your Reservoir Of Knowledge



Why are you so kind
to me?
I doubt I'm deserving
of such kindness.

You've allowed me
to tap your reservoir
of knowledge
and drink
until I'm full.

I will not waste
a drop.
I will appreciate
what I'm offered
for the precious gift
that it is.

I can never repay
such pure human kindness
other than to say
''Thank You''
and do my best
to make you proud
of what I will become.

Then, when I am asked
to share my knowledge
I will empty out that reservoir
with all the tenderness
and heartfelt kindness
that was once shown to me
by you.

Quintessential. Like repaying your parents, an impossible task. It is easier to pass on the goodness to one's own offspring. Very good, Mary. Best H
