This Is My Night



This is my night,

it's finally here.

I've waited for this,

for seventeen years.



I may be nervous,

but I'll be alright.

Nothing will stop me,

not this night.



My friends are here,

some I know real well.

We had fun in school,

but somedays were hell.







My mom is here,

she is looking my way.

And she looks at me Proud,

on my Graduation Day.



I try not to show it,

but I do have fear,

I wonder to myself,

where do I go from here?



Its a big old world,

thats headed my way.

I'll have to go to work,

get my own place to stay.







Have to buy a car,

buy my own clothes.

Do my own cooking,

learn how to sew.



Have to be to work early,

so I cant sleep late.

And working long hours,

I'll be too tired to date.



I'll have to pay for electric,

and the water I use.

Make my own bed,

clean all the rooms.







Yes it's a big old world,

I'm going out in.

Now I know why mom,

has such a big grin.



She has raised me right,

and so proud of her girl,

She knows I'm ready,

for the Big Old World...
