The Graduate

Folder: 
Odes/Tributes

Hard to believe how he's grown,

how the years went by so fast.

All those school-boy days of old,

now lie there in his past.



He's overcome so much,

in his eighteen years of life.

But never did he let it rule,

meeting headlong, every strife.



And now he stands here ready,

to head out into the world.

Highschool now is left behind

and his destiny lies unfurled.



Its quite a very proud moment,

to see him in cap and gown.

Standing there with his peers,

as my tears are falling down.



He's about to head out to his future,

that's waiting for him to explore.

My second born son, now a graduate,

of the class of 2004!
