Graduation



Graduation is a
time to remember
and a time to dream,

A time to look back
and a time to reach forward,

A time for songs of laughter
and a time for tears of joy,

A time for letting go
and a time for discovering
hopes and dreams that are yet unborn,

A time to say good-bye to yesterday
and a time to greet tomorrow with courage,

A time for loving hearts to gather.
and a time to celebrate all that you are...

and all that you can become.
