Finding Nicole

Sometimes it can be hard to find yourself The world seems like a really huge place Graduation is a really big step You wonder what's the next move you should make The world seems like a really huge place The future seems it is so far away You wonder what's the next move you should make Contemplating is a good way to go The future seems it is so far away It comes regardless of what you decide Contemplating is a good way to go Your choice determines which path you travel It comes regardless of what you decide Be passionate never settle for less Your choice determines which path you travel You are much stronger than you realize Be passionate never settle for less Graduation is a really big step You are much stronger than you realize sometimes it can be hard to find yourself I dedicate this poem to you Nicole. My prayer for you is that you find your inner strength and a worthy dream to persue. You are capable of more than you realize so Do not be afraid to choose a challenging path. Surprise yourself, learn your possibilities, be amazed. Congratulations on Completing a very important first step. Love Uncle Rick

I agree with Freddie... inspirational! I'll never know what it feels like to graduate with the whole "cap and gown" charade. It's more so just for show... but from then on it feels like big business and no more fun and games. But why? Shouldn't you still have fun on your upward climb...? You're getting really god at these pantoums btw!

I don't think it is a charade, when of my happiest and proudest moments was when my wife graduated with her masters. I was moved emotionly because I knew all that the day represented. I do agree with the having fun on the upward or in some cases the sideward climb. Ha ha

Thanks Eileen, sadly I live 4000 Kim's away so I don't see my nieces that often.
