Glory of Graduation

A poem about the glories of graduation.

Glory of Graduation

 

I recall such a wonderful memory

From the depths of my cheerful brain

I remember the events of my senior year.

Ignoring the shadow and look into the light that should never die

 

Reminiscing all the happy memories in my senior school year

I tell someone, my story of greatness. The bliss that has filled everyone's heart

and the light that continues to awaken.

 

As one descends the stairs of graduation, that person must remember

that this is the first time one would enjoy this type of ceremony, with kin.

That this, is possibly the first time one can enjoy the gown and the attention.

Where one walks with pride and honor

For graduation is the end of the beginning.

 

The introduction to the new world has just begun

for today is the first time one is free from school

This is the first time, they would be in this situation

Where one enjoys life with friends in a comfortable environment

Where the laughter of friendship fills the air

 

As one receive their diploma, they look towards the future.

The new places, memories, hopes and dreams

The continual growth of the brain inside their head

The destiny that awaits their arrival

The pieces of fate that wishes to meet them

 

The tear that show happiness to others

The light of hope that rain on its disciples

The blood of light that gathers together

The walkway of truths that reveal itself

The faith that fulfills the heart

 

These are the intended consequences, one receives

as he or she moves onward in life

attempting to absorb the beauty of time

As the events of tomorrow

die backwards as moments in their lives

With each step into the past

the present becomes the future.

These are the emotions I receive when I truly remember

This is the glory that fills me

For there is somethings people will remember

but why why why

can't this light live forever?
