Graduation Day

For these which stand before you good parents and friends Are embellished with all your dreams for futures to come Dressed in alma mater robe, mortar hat and tassel now adorned You have gathered as witness for this day of a dozen years longed It is your hearts -with pride- as you watch and listen with both a smile and tear For that so cherished name upon your lips anticipating Awaiting the bursting applause with in your hearts Viewing now the man whom you once held in your arms As your graduate smiles and takes his just earned reward Hail to thee- our alma mater- do the graduates stand and sing Hail to thee – may we always remember the cost of this liberty
