Say so long to your years of high school,
You've done great but it's time to move on.
You're headed for greatness next fall so,
Enjoy this summer but don't yawn.
You've done so well to get where you're going,
Graduation is proof of that.
You've studied and done you're very best,
And that's why we are giving you the scat.
We want you to take time to relax,
Having fun should be in there as well.
Get out and do some discovering,
I know you’ll have stories to tell.
Once again congrats on graduating,
And doing so well to get here.
You deserve all that is coming,
I hope you know how happy we're here.
Poems Of Encouragement
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2015
Routines are routines,
To keep you in check.
To get you to school,
To keep you from being a wreck.
Routines are needed,
For all of us most of the time.
But big things create change,
And routines move aside.
And this is okay,
As new ways come into play.
It just sometimes can be hard,
To get used to the new way.
You’ll find out what's new,
And what works best for you.
And then you will see,
A new routine you can do.
And a new change can be nice,
Whether it is big or is small.
You learn so much new,
And won’t be bored at all.
So as you graduate, embrace new routines,
And the changes as well.
You may even learn to like change,
In time you’ll be able to tell.
Graduation Sayings
Poet Unknown
Never forget your high school days.
The years in which you grew
Challenges and happy times you went through.
Tomorrow each will go their own way;
And friends may drift apart.
But the memories of joys you’ve shared.
Will always live within your heart.
No matter what faces you tomorrow
Believe you can overcome any fears;
May you do your uttermost.
To have success in future years.
These four years of high school life
You'll leave behind with many a sigh.
But you'll hold them fast in memory.
A new beginning, but also a good-bye.
Goodbye Poems
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
Fair as a flower
Is thy sweet young face,
Like a liquid stream
Doth thy blue eyes gleam.
Robing thee with grace.
May you bloom thro' life
Like a lily pure;
May your talents rare
Be nurtured with care,
God's love to ensure.
Positive Poems
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Years of struggle, growing pains and memories,
Late nights spent studying, weekends spent with friends.
Fun times and trying times, milestones both minor and great.
The triumphs that came afterward make all the effort worthwhile.
High school may have been daunting but hard work surely paid off,
You earned the right to celebrate, go ahead take a bow.
Your own accomplished goals achieved;
You have done it, congratulations on your success.
Success Poem
by Charles Kingsley
Thank God every morning when you get up
That you have something to do which must be done
Whether you like it or not.
Being forced to work and
Forced to do your best will breed in you
Temperance, self-control, diligence, strength of will,
Content and a hundred virtues which
The idle will never know.
Thank You God Poems
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Time has flown on wings so swift,
High school graduation made us shift.
We knew it was coming but the day has passed,
Sadness and joy mixed just like the forecast.
Farewell to classes and hallways told,
We shake hands with memories both young and old.
No more morning bell or forgotten locker key,
But now our lives hold vast possibility.
A New Chapter In Life Poem
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Here's the knowledge I did accrue,
After twelve long years of schooling true.
My successes and failures shaped me,
So proud now as I set myself free!
I gave my all, every day I toiled,
Now it's time that joy be uncoiled.
It won't be easy with new demands ahead,
But thankfulness for this moment is spread.
A huge accomplishment and a milestone in my life,
This is what success beyond work n' strife!
Poems About School
Poet: Unknown
Good-bye, high school, hello world
We’re ten million strong,
Good-bye, teachers, friends, and pals.
It won’t take us long
Don’t you worry while we’re here,
It’s you we will protect
So Good-bye, high school, hello world,
We’re going to square our debt to you.
