    As we get up and all clap,
    For we are officially taking the graduation lap.

  8. Our Future
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    Commencement day has come and gone,
    So loud and proud we all sang our song.
    We wore our caps and threw them high,
    And stood for pictures on the lawn outside.

    We shook hands with diplomas in hand,
    Daydreams of greatness all across the land.
    All around us, our future is nigh,
    To classes and books, we say goodbye!



  9. Congratulations Classmates!

    Congratulations classmates: we have made it thru
    No more classes to sit thru with the same old view
    Oh the struggles and stress, but still here we stand
    Grads in shiny caps, tassels in our hands

    A degree with honors may not be our fate
    But we battled classes - which was no small feat!
    Diploma in hand and ready for the next step,
    Our journey's just started - we have now been prepped.

    The day will see hugs and kisses, laughter and cries
    Wrap up that cap and gown and say goodbye.

  11. Leave This Place Behind
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    It's time to leave this place behind,
    We've studied long enough, that's for sure.
    We've worked hard in preparation,
    Now it's time to open new doors.

    Oh, the nights when we did cram,
    With dreams and thoughts of new plans.
    Now we have one final task to prove,
    That our minds have truly improved.

    We can finally leave this hall of books,
    It's time to toast with champagne flutes.
    We may be somewhat relieved and sad,
    But graduation's here, oh we should be glad!



  12. Newfound Knowledge

    With your newfound knowledge,
    You have done it,
    You have finished college!

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    Graduating from here today
    We can be proud we did it our own way.
    From playgrounds to lockers and detention rooms too,

    Through tests of knowledge, teachers supplied.
    But the ending’s celebratory, there’s no mistake
    We deserve this diploma, a trophy not to break!  

    It comes with a funny tassel that flips and wriggles free
    A funny reminder of our graduation glee!
