Partners in Learning
Inspired these reflections
I hope you enjoy

Isn’t it odd how
Much I write pedagogy
Not andragogy?

Maybe it’s because
Learning is linked with schooling
That I think like this

I must not forget
Education does not stop
Learning is lifelong

No one left behind?
Isn’t that what you promised
I am catching up

I’m an afterthought
A valuable figure
Absent from your view

I write these poems
Not because I’m complaining
Instead I waited

I couldn’t be a
Young prodigy because I
Was hurting myself

Now I am OK
And ready to celebrate
My validity
