poem_210_Graduation
13 years of schooling
In preparation for this
The step to begin my dreams
With a graduation to miss
No more years of grade school
On to bigger things
Ready to take on the world
For whatever it brings
My freshman year I decided
The person that I would be
A modern Quincy of the times
The world’s best M.E.
It’s been a long travel
To get where I am now
But here I stand tall
Nearly finished, somehow
From family to friends
There are many I have to thank
Even if I’ve not met them all
My heart for them has sank
I know when I was in need
And my parents called to them
Regardless of our meeting
They held this not in condemn
Like a strong family should
They gave me such a foundation
With wishes, prayers, and words
That help me stay in determination
And to my friends
The amount is the same
Of thanks they deserve
For maintaining the flame
That kept me alive
That kept me going
Instead of a dilapidated mess
Because the love they were showing
Other activities
Help boost my pep
In pushing me to
That extra step
It’s been a long haul
It’s been a wild ride
It’s been 4 of the hardest
Years I’ve had to reside
The teacher’s are great
In the past years too
As they helped me move on
In pushing me through
I’m a 2008 graduate
Finally I am here
In success for ALL of you
That have pushed me to the clear
Onto Sam Houston State
14 more years of schooling
Before I get my doctorate
And a M.E. I’ll be ruling!
Inspired by: My graduation of high school
