Analysis of S-e-m-I-n-a-r-y



S is for Self-discipline
Which you’ll use throughout your life
E is for Self Esteem
In honor of you choosing the right
M is for Self Molding
For you begin to mold your life
I is for Self Image
Building your image to follow Christ
N is for Nurture
Where God comes into your life
A is for Approval
Which is given to the right
R is for Self Reliance
Trust in God to be your guide
Y is for the Yearning
To always have Him by your side
Put it altogether to spell Seminary
A place where you can learn of God
And learn the way
On how to cling to the Iron Rod
