Jmuw4 THE LOOM OF TEMPLE UNIVERSITY DENTAL SCHOOL Each one of us now pauses for the past And marks the anniversary of his stay. Indelible impressions that will last With care, have been inscribed along the way. But woven really is a better word. Inscriptions change with age and oftimes fade. Yet through the years how often have we heard The tale of how the doth is made. Before the loom can start to spin On spools the waiting fiber must be turned. From slender fibers comes a cloth that’s thin. Fine fiber gives fine cloth the weaver learned. We see the loom Of life transforms each one. And varied patterns move beneath our stare. Upon the broader cloth of life is spun Design of four years weaving with line care. As each of us does vary in our thread So does our cloth bespeak the texture deep. Throughout our lives from our cloth our quality is read, Entwined in fabric, we our natures keep. The warp and woof of school embedded lies Between the other fibers of our life. We hope and pray the cloth may be our size And serve us well through years of peace and strife. Yet we shall derelict in duties be If we with greed shall cover ourselves alone. The fabric shrivels when used selfishly Material success will not atone. We see the cloth used wisely grows with age. There’s breadth enough for self and service, too. To know when we have quit this mortal stage That to ourselves and patients we were true. 4
