Our Graduate

Graduation day has finally arrived,
It could only happen without a nosedive.

The hill that you climbed was outrageously steep,
You showed raw courage as you went without sleep.

You worked through the day and again through the night,
Somehow, in some way, you came through it all right.

Yours was a journey with lessons to be learned,
Studies replaced the time for loved ones you yearned.

You entertained friends with a slaphappy mood,
It would serve no purpose to fuss nor to brood.

The time has come for your hard work to be done,
You have passed the test and your degree is won.

You made it happen with your internal drive,
Graduation day has finally arrived.
