Graduation Day

Graduation day! Let us celebrate! A milestone attained! Indeed, hard work pays! Savour this moment! Life struggles can wait! The world awaits us but today we play! It was a long struggle; skies oft looked grey Through sweat and toil, our path we did create Determined focus, held steady its way Graduation day! Let us celebrate! Patient resolve, of monks who meditate Study our worship, as the devout pray Shaping in silence, our glorious fate A milestone attained! Indeed, hard work pays! Today we dance, to lively music sway With each breath intake, in joy we gyrate Our bubbling heart exclaims, hip, hip hooray! Savour this moment! Life struggles can wait! Success is not handed out on a plate We ourself light our path, like a sun ray As we be and so do, we can create The world awaits us but today we play! Accomplishments apart, love our mainstay Tranquil mind, open heart and easy gait Life beckons; we neither rush nor delay Feeling complete in joy throb that elates Graduation day! 09-March-2021 A graduation blessing poetry contest Sponsor: BJ Legros Kelley
