It sets us forward with beating heart, For the time has come for our depart. That big event is Graduation Day, The biggest of all our life, we say. Some will say we're glad to go, But deep down in our heart it isn't so. Witli our heads up high, and heart down low, We,re ready to go, but, oh, how slow. Our hurried steps all just seem to drag As we ourselves behind do lag. Oh, how we wish we could go back, Start over with courage we once lacked. Promises to study, and do our part, Forgiveness, and pity, in our heart. Saying to ourselves, why act like fools When we could have worked with our tools. Instead we put it on a dusty shelf, Never trying to better ourself. But we are ready to struggle with work, Laziness never in our path will lurk. These are the promises we all will take, Something of ourselves we try to make. Smiles on our faces, diplomas in hand, Into our places we,re ready to stand. For now is the time to go our way, For today is our Graduation Day. I Page 721
