A Poem for You as You Graduate

This Poem is Dedicated to a Friend in Anticipation of Graduation

Jolynne M Hudnell
You've been waiting for this day for so long
At times wondering if it would ever come.
So many demands seemed impossible at times,
Yet you made it through, as I knew you would.

Still, you took time to help me when I needed it
Uplifting and giving me confidence when I was down.
Honored you came to me in your time of need
To share ideas and for encouragement I could give.

As you graduate, a whole new world is open
Open for you to take hold of as you choose
I hope you continue to take the high road
And don't let the demands of the world hurt you.

At times you will look back and miss this time spent
and I hope you use all you've learned.
This is just the next step in fulfilling your life
And I truly, dearly hope all of your dreams come true.
