Graduation Poem for College Graduates

Set Your Career Goals Now

Darrin Atkins
Today is the Day

You Have Become a College Graduate

Take Charge, This Day

And Set Your Sights High

Search Inside Yourself

And Find Your Hopes and Dreams

Then Make a Plan

To Achieve Those Goals

Move Along, Step by Step

To Realize your Aspirations

Do not be Distracted

By Doubts and Fears

Be Steady and Strong

Study Long and Hard

Be Committed in Your Dreams

And then You Will See

Your Goals Come to Fruition

As the Years Go By

Congratulations, College Graduates

The World is Yours for the Taking

Go Out and Take Whatever You Want

Today is the Day to Set Your Sights High

Today You Have Completed Your Degree

Tomorrow, Your Dreams Begin to Grow

    Motivational poem. My son is graduating next year from NYU I'll show this to him then.
    He is smart and he is finishing his graduation in 3 years. He already knows what he is going to do and want to work hard and start as soon as possible. These kids have so much energy, enthusiasm, ability and capability of achieving whatever they want.
    Great poem.
