Best Graduate Poems

Dear graduate, this is a happy day.
Your schooling’s done. I hope your folks are proud.
Toss those caps to the sky. You’re on your way.
Shout Hallelujah now, and shout it loud.

But when the fanfare’s over, take some time
to contemplate what next you want to do.
Life is...

Six years
Punctuated with a walk across a stage
A piece of paper
Representing a past and future
listen to the cheers and whistles
This is your moment
It is ours as well
For you are the realization of our dreams
Our hearts are filled with love
See the fruition of our pride
Languish in...

The meaning of Life:
   To touch, to feel, to see;
   To know without shadows of doubt
   of One's immortality.

Life is the kindergarten of the Cosmos;
A proving ground of worth.
Evolutionary graduations
Lift us high about the earth.

Reflections of the sunset
Through the...

You've graduated with honors, you're over the hump,
with not many hoops left through which to jump.

You've left behind all that you hold dear
and stepped forward blind, but never fear.

We've set no traps for you to fall into.
We're harmless, benign, kindhearted and true.

We like your style,...

Aged four and half, first day at school
he was going to prove he was no fool,
through boredom disrupted his class
which continued each following day alas,
by luck or fate proved he was not pathetic
my poor boy was diagnosed as dyslexic,
many years past struggling but determined
With this...

The power of a small kindness,

God's mercy and love raised you to this tier,
Amid the party of graduates assembled here.
So, think not of self more highly than you ought,
For it is the Lord's grace that kept you unfraught.

Try not to conform to the actions of this world,
But let your minds...

Let me watch
Till the end. 
The world is on
Threat to the end. 
   
More ambitions
Global warming
Deadly bio weapons
Increased tensions. 

 Someday they shall plough the field
 To harvest of corpses
Then not certain who will die or survive, 
But surely the land will not...

You be the sea
I’ll be the stone
Waiting and waiting
On your seashore
To eternity and beyond
Miracles happen
Miracles happen

Miracles always
Happen!

You be the wave
I’ll be your wind
Caring and caring
Your waves i’the sand
To eternity and beyond
Miracles happen
Miracles happen

Miracles always
Happen!

You be the splash
I’ll be the waiting
You be the kiss
I’ll be the...

Ambiguously the two exist as one, 

Sustaining each other in harmony. 

Fortuitously they come and they go, 

Lost and found, they’re wrapped around. 

Light with darkness; darkness with light, 

The balance seen by the naked eye. 

All things moving within their own orbit, 

No directions...

One more year before the wild bird flies her coop.
Not bad. Bravo. Wise one.
You are more than enough.
Your optimism shines throughout your poems.
You know yourself.
Any idea how rare that is?

There are seventy-year olds who have no idea of themselves
They live a life set down by...

Sometimes it’s hard to hold back tears of overwhelming joy,
as I ponder on all of my blessings, makes me as excited as a child with a brand-new toy.
As I gaze at the clear blue sky so pristine above 
It makes me think of the Lords...

As our time draws to a close,
Cherished times from my memory flows,
From p.e with Mrs. to religion class
"My, how the time did pass!"

For years I'd called this place home,
With the greatest family ever known,
Who're with me through thick and thin,
To thank you....I can't begin.

Right now...

"Go on forth young graduates,

And show us who you are

You're now our future leaders

We know you will go far"

And so commencement ended

Pictures done and people changed

Now, off to private parties

All orderly pre-arranged

But four young girls stood waiting

Until they were alone

"Let's head out to the party

And...

So this is it. It’s finally here. 
Your last school day has come
No more morning drop offs
No more rushed school run. 

No more sandwiches to pack
No more sports kit to acquire
No frantic searching for the socks 
Hiding somewhere in the dryer 

No more crazes to...
