My Diploma

I alway's wondered, I alway's wondered what if i go back and try it again -
My education is what i need and year's have gone -
It's been about what, maybe 10 -
I was told in that school office that i would not walk with my class -
Ten year's later in that same office i was told you will get a diploma because
you passed -
It wasn't easy, everday to study was hard -
I stayed strong in learned to put all my faith in the good Lord -
It was one of the worst time's of my life -
But, some kind of way i walked straight and ta'll with that knife -
I trust in the good Lord to keep my mind together -
Oct. 19, 2005, I took the biggest test of my life and i will cherish it forever -
