Bouncing Back

Graduation, that longed for event
Emitting a tense excitement
With families so proud
Their head in a cloud
But fate rarely gives us a hint

At last it was my turn to soar
Speech in hand, 'cross that stage I roar
Fell down, jumped up fine
Changed my opening line
To "I'm sure gonna miss this stage floor."
