The Night of Your Promotion

On this the night of your promotion 
I look back and see the little boy I once knew 
So tiny and tender, 
needing those around him
Playing and sharing as young ones do 
Now I look and see the young adult you’ve come to be 
So tall and sleek, 
so confident and strong
So look back and smile
Look ahead with confidence knowing you can do anything, anything 
as long as you believe
Believe
