Dear Graduate

Dear Graduate, reflecting back
You've accomplished quite a lot
Learned from many mistakes you've made;
The hardest lesson that is taught

Made heaps and heaps of memories
Been blessed with family and friends
Who've helped you grow in many ways
When the world went slipping from your hands

Through the years there's been some pain
But, oh, how you have grown
Held on to some more closely
Others, you let go

But today is your day to show the world
Everything you've been and have yet to be
Yes, Graduate I didn't know
I would be so proud of me
