On warm May days,
teenagers dress for their prom dates.
On warm May days,
we moms receive our well-earned praise.
For many, graduation waits;
accomplishments, each celebrates
on warm May days.
I have another piece that's too long for here - so it's in "Short Storries."
It's called "Seniors" - about a High School graduation party
I know I could take things out - but then it's not what I wanted to say *shrug*
Here's the link

I hope you like it!
Proms are cancelled all over the world
Graduations? Not this year
I feel so sorry for the seniors
Both kinds of Seniors
The oldsters because they are vulnerable
The young ones because so many of their dreams are cancelled
No prom
No graduation
No graduation party
Thanks to the Corona Virus
School is online until further notice
A month ago seniors were trying on shoes for prom
Now they are online trying to concentrate on school
Online trying to speak with their friends
Online trying not to think about prom or graduation
Graduations
all happiness
full of gladness
time of graduation
students' motivation
look how beautiful they are
look how they have gone so far
they all deserve the best crown
so wonderful jealous down
the work is well done
look as they enjoy
faces full of joy.
Graduations
hardwork pays
listen as music plays
ladies with beautiful dress
gentlemen on point-impress
having such a wonderful ability
as they are done with university
all friends and family rejoice
shouting with loud voice
during graduations
congratulations.

A year ago I watched you graduate from High School
Knowing your next chapter was going to be page turning
Like no other
A month ago I was honored to watch you graduate yet again
A Marine!
Today you graduated from MCT
Though I am not there to see you
I close my eyes and I am there with you
I see your shoulders set in pride
Your steps strong
Your hand sliding down your uniform checking that all is aligned
As you get ready to head to the next page
I find myself wanting to read slower
And absorb every word
Not yet ready to turn the next page
But I know you are ready
Congrats Marine as you start writing
For your next chapter.
My promise to you is
I will never stop reading!
