Graduation



Your Family has raised you
Your Creativity has led you.
Your Determination has held you
Your Work has lifted you
Your Friends have been with you
Your school will remember you

You have made memories and friendships to always hold
You have made your life and it has made you
You have become more and you will become more again.
You have been part of the past and you are now a part of the future
You have been one of many but you are still unique
You have depended on others and others will depend on you

Never forget you can still seek advice or extend a helping hand
Never forget that you can make things better but cannot change everything
Never forget that paths will change and may again cross
Never forget to use your strengths and never give up
Never forget mistakes happen and never forget to forgive
Never lose your courage or fail to get back up again
Never forget to continue to strive, hope, pray, and be happy

Remember there are still lessons to be learned and mountains to be climbed
Remember there are still fears to overcome and dreams to be dreamed.
Remember we Salute your future endeavors and… We Salute You.
Remember you are uniquely you
Remember: You are our sons and daughters… And
Remember: You are loved true.

Born in 1952. Live in St.Louis, Missouri. I write mostly poetic stories about people, stories, and experiences. I don't use my real name. There's already someone famous in photography with my name. The confusion would be worse. I'm happy the way it is. I have epilepsy, and still became a chemist for 1 month shy of 30 years. When the company folded I went on disability due to many health problems. I lost my retirement, and almost my home. But like that old wornout poet, I won't give up. I hope you enjoy my work. My husband often helps me pick topics and ideas. He has helped me write a few, also. I write most but he has the imagination for the funny ones. We have been married 32 years. Shakespeare wrote poetic plays to entertain. My poetic stories are meant to entertain, too. I won the daily contest for "The Old Worn Out Poet" 9-27-2010 and "The Truth of Being Born" 2-19-2011. "The Teen" was published in :Sunflowers and Seashells: Days Remembered". If some of my poems suddenly vanish it's because I'm trying to sell a few to help put my son through Nursing College.I was in the hospital again but will resume writting soon... Love to all of you I missed so much...Contact me at eastmanproperties@mindspring.com more…
