Graduation Day

Close your eyes and
thirteen years has passed.
You're standing in your graduation
caps and thinking back
to your first day of kindergarten
waving to your mom and dad
and eyes open in wonder.
Then to your freshman year
back then you thought you were
grown up until you finally made it here.
You were just a kid back then
and now you're saying goodbye to
all of your friends. It's sad and happy
to look back to the time when
you first got off that school bus
how far you've come, how far
you're yet to go.
