SOID ickorg Graduation Day Is there a day in the world so sweet as that on that beautiful morn When the graduate steps forth to bloom a new life to be born, With a little rose upon his coat and a world of flowers within As he walks upright, sincere, and polite, and greets you with a grin. He knows his heart is full of joy and his books he’s laid aside, For graduation day has come, so comes the sweetest pride; The world it all looks good to him and mother looks the best; He can mock the teacher or anything, for there is no other test. He waits for the hour when tall and straight he stands before his class; Nothing in life looks hard to him ; it’s a boulder he longs to pass ; With words of cheer he tells those there what a wonderful start they have made And he winds up his talk without even a balk, and so another game’s been played. President or Congressmen are all just the same to the boy Who on this day is as big as they and has bigger room for joy; So when the classmates march outside,—and outside it may be— A bigger problem yet to solve—but they’re happy as can be. Parting time now has come—Oh ! how sweet they can look that day; You look into some eyes of blue and wonder how you’ll say, “Goodbye Mary”; again you turn, your eyes fixed into the blue, “I’d lose it all for another day in the graduating class with you.” So they scatter about, in a world of doubt, with the password “Forward March,” Holding high their biggest aim and that to be a burning torch; Some go on, and some go back, while some never find a way, But will they ever forget the joy they all met, on Graduation Day? —Paris Massengill.
