College Graduation

Watched the graduation 
Of my nephew via Zoom,
Along with many others 
From afar, I would assume.

Heard the speeches, saw the march
Of students, one by one
And stuck with it until
The final exit walk was done.

How cool it was to witness
All the graduates receive
A fresh diploma filled with pride 
And hope they must believe

Will help them find their path in life.
Whatever lies ahead,
At least they’ll have the memory
Of when their names were read.
