Symbolism? I think yes!

By just reading the title of the poem "The Coming of Wisdom with Time" the first thing that comes to mind is graduation. I have known since 1st grade someday I will graduate as a senior, but now its only months away and it makes me think . I have made many choices in my life which have branched off into different directions influencing my life, but everything still comes back to me, the roots of my tree of life. This poem was symboloic and special to me because it is symbolic of my life in the past and future. After May I will be thrust into the real world where nothing is sugar coated and no one is there to hold my hand like they have for the last 17 years of my life, and this poem truely marks the steps we progress through our lives . This poem hit home for me .
