AS YOU GRADUATE

Cherish your memories,
but look forward...
Treasure your friendships
but reach outward...
Learn from the past
but move onward...
Live each day with hope
and climb upward...

************************************************************************

GRADUATE
Dare to dream,dare to try,
dare to follow your heart.
Opportunity is calling
and graduation's the time to start.
As you seek new challenges
and make your dreams come true,
may this graduation day be a reminder
of all that you can do.

************************************************************************

Graduation
*I do not know beneath what sky
Nor on what seas shall be thy fate;
I only know it shall be high,
I only know it shall be great.

* A poem for a graduating daughter
Young woman, my daughter,
my joy and my heart,
You've reached the end
only to find a new start.

The world sees the young woman
with her charm and her smile,
but behind the woman,
I will always see the child.

* Remember that overnight success usually takes about fifteen years.

* Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

* Rest not! Life is sweeping by;
Go and dare before you die.
Something mighty and sublime,
Leave behind to conquer time.

* If you want a place in the sun, you'll have to leave the shade of the
family tree.

* The explanation of triumph is all in the first syllable.

* Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no
path and leave a trail.

* You won't discover new lands unless you lose sight of the shore.

* The uncertainties of the present always give way to the enchanted
possibilities of the future. You are destined for greatness. Enjoy
your journey and remember to have fun.

A TOUCH OF LOVE

You were six months old and full of fun.
With a blink of my eye, you suddenly were one.
There were so many things we were going to do,
But I turned my head and you turned two.
At two, you were very dependent on me,
But independence took over when you turned three.
Your third birthday, another year I tried to ignore,
But when I lit the candles there weren't three, but four.
Four was the year that you really strived,
Why, look at you now, you're already five.
Now you are ready for books and rules.
This is the year that you go to school.
The big day came; you were anxious to go.
We walked to the bus, going oh so slow.
As you climbed aboard and waved goodbye,
I felt a lump in my throat and tears stung my eyes.
Time goes so fast, it's hard to believe
That just yesterday you were home here, with me.
And tomorrow when the bus brings you home and you jump to the ground,
You'll be wearing your cap and graduation gown.
So I'm holding to these moments as hard as I can,
Because the next time I look,
I'll be seeing a grown man.

GRADUATION

Until now your goal has been
to be like everyone else.
The same kind of clothes and shoes and hair
You might've lost touch with yourself.
Suddenly...these superficial things
Aren't as important as they seemed to be.
Now is the time to examine your soul...
Do you like the person you see?
Will you walk through this world with selfish desires?
Will your greatest concerns be your own?
Will you love your brother and care for him too?
Or will you make your journey alone?
You know you'll get but just one chance
Your earthly like to live.
So learn first to make "self" last
and learn well how to give.
For success is measured
not by treasures you might find
But by the good you do for others
and the love you leave behind.

************************************************************************

FACING GRADUATION

Faces of old and faces of new,
People we know and people we knew.
Growing together then drifting apart,
Always an ending and now a new start.
At graduation we all grow nearer
And all our friends seem so much dearer.
And as we say our final goodbye,
One last embrace and one more cry,
A "keep in touch" and a "promise I will"
A "remember when" but better still,
A place in my heart, you'll always stay,
That is what's said as we go our own way.

************************************************************************

GRADUATION/ACCOMPLISHMENT

To live a successful life
Does not require
Money, fame, power, prestige
Or status symbols. . .

It's more a matter of
Being true to your own beliefs and principles,
Doing your best,
Even in the smallest of things,
And never taking for granted
The simple joys in life --
Such as laughter, a perfect day,
Or a loyal friend.

For all the money in the world
Can't buy self-esteem, character,
Contentment, love or happiness --
And these are the very things
That make life
Worth living.

However you define
Happiness and success,
May you find and enjoy them
Every day of your life.

Congratulations as you graduate.
