Graduation

Here we are at the end of a trail
We took some wrong turns but were able to find the path again
Echoing behind us in our memories are our achievements
And our disappointments
We laughed with our peers since grade school til' now
Fights started and ended between friends and foes
Everyone mourned the loss of classmates that were taken away
And together we all encouraged the representatives of our school
For these last four years we tried our best
But not all the time
Now graduation is here
The time to say goodbye is near
Together with our futures uncertain
We step off the trail and begin to pave a new road

There will always be regrets... friendships lost, classes where we might have done better. To step from a trail to a paved road is a rite of passage, and one full of anticipation and promise. Well done Katherine! Best wishes, Keith
