Breathtaking

Bright-eyed youths have risen early
			Ready for their special day
			Eager for the life awaiting
			Afterwards, without delay.
			Time for them is of the essence;
			Hopes and dreams must be pursued
			There's no room for fear or doubt--
			Attitudes to be eschewed.
			Kudos will be freely given
			In just hours. Each honoree
			Now will know how BREATHTAKING
			Graduation day can be.
