What great feeling to dawn today
You've made the grade, you're on your way

Adulthood looks you in the eye
You'll soon decide, how high to fly

Your childhood bore so many thoughts
Of friends, of tears, of what life taught

But now you face a whole new view
Your dreams will surface, emcompass you

Excitement churns within your chest
A class of hotties, you are the best

That cool diploma you'll take to stay
Now that's a trophy to tuck away

I still remember how great the feel
There is but one graduation deal

Twelve years have carried you this far
Now wear that cap, today you star

To close I would like to impart
To teachers all, Thanks from my heart

Ah yes...graduation roams throughout the nation for the next few weeks...so many young wings stretched for flight...

while parents continue the worry long through the night...

enjoyed!

Even tho it's been a while since I graduated, this poem took me back...way back.
You captured all the feelings of one who endured unto the end. I wish all the best for you.
