As we sit here among the audience,
My thoughts goes back to the day you left for college;
And of the six years of hard work you had put forth,
As we celebrate the day that has finally come . . .
Your Graduation Day!
While waiting for the commencement to start,
Thoughts and memories take over my heart;
As I await for your appearance, my eyes roam around,
Viewing the scenery as the guests make no sound.
Softly we hear the music as we stand to watch each one,
Honoring them all, for the hard work they have done;
Each having dreams and goals they wish for it to come,
For a better future that each will fully welcome.
Cameras are flashing as we see the processionals parade forward in their cap and gowns,
As they all have fond memories of each other
and the friendships they have found.
With the guest speaker on stage and my kleenex on hand,
Memories flashed upon me . . . . of when
I became my childs biggest fan.
Babies they were, toddlers they became . . .
But when they grew older,
They had a mind of their own and became even bolder;
For then they leave home to attend a college
as they yearn to be on their own,
Keeping in touch by way of computer or occassional
calls on the telephone.
I glanced at my spouse as we were remembering
the passing years,
As he holds my free hand to comfort the feeling
of our tears;
For that is our son's name that was just called
and he's standing on stage now up there,
How handsome and proud he appears with his gold honor cords, as he looks upon those who care;
While he proudly accepts his diploma with high honors
of earning his Bachelor's Degree,
And the audience are all cheering, for they certainly
do agree!
Two and a half hours later, the Class of 2003 stands,
For this will be their final farewell as they
join together with the music of the band;
For how proud they all are, as we are of them,
As the joy and excitement is shown in each one of them;
And now their future will have a wonderful new life to it,
As our hearts and best of wishes are with each one of . . .
Our Proud Graduates!
