Graduates Are in a Class of Their Own

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

The hill that you climbed was outrageously steep,

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