Graduation: Crest And Trough
First day in college, full of determination,
Had own certain tenets and definitions,
Focused to achieve the only one aim,
Bringing proud to family and no shame,
Swiftness of time never polished
But only tainted,
Who this person in me I rented,
Aims and determination seemed fainted,
Graduation on the verge of end,
Hardly, any remarkable memories penned,
Seeing, myself disfigured I'm stunned,
All bad I owed, good just shunned,
Had a thought what am I going to do,
Was the thing, not too new,
Aim I had was single, not few,
At last it seemed I have to rue,
Rue conferred no good, but only discomforts,
That I envisioned, being zero my efforts,
Graduation days filled me with only dirts,
Sometime weakened, alleviated me my strong heart,
Now, I see the vistas of prospects,
Marring in me all old discomforting suspects,
Envisaged the life and its better aspects,
Rose myself to conquer the very aimed prospect.

Graduation
In couple months I will graduate from high school
I'm so excited and anixety
First, I have to get through this couple months and
Do everything I need to do
We are leaving behind good and bad memories
Is another chapter in your life
Time to start new one in college or whereever you go
Years in school fly so fast
This is our moment to show people we love that we can do it
You have plan to go to college or whatever you have in mind
Time to get our freedom and be away from home
Time to live our life way we want
We are going our separate path, but
We still can get in contact with each other
No matter where we are in the world
This is greatest moment of our life
We are going tear, laugh, smile, and be proud what we done
Graduation
Is once in life time
High school don't last forever
This is what we been dreaming
All our life and we make it through
With our ups and downs, bad and good times
I never picture myself that I would be here
In front of whole school and get my diploma in my hand
This is all worth it
I never gave up or had any doubt
Thank you to all my friends who was like my brothers and sisters
They have been there for me, fun to hang out, talktative, and funny
Thank you to my family who is supportive, caring, and love me
Thank you to all my teachers who never give up on me and help me through
I have confident, hope, and believe in myself
That I will make it through and look where I am

Graduation 2013
Graduation is coming faster then you know
soon it will be may and we will all be alone
soon we will be crying and we will finally be free
adults you see
either going off to college or staying home
graduation is all we want to hear
there will be laughs
and i'm afraid more tears
as we honor those who wont be with us this year
they did to young
but hey it's life
graduation will be the worst
but the worst is yet to come
graduation is the bench mark
as you close your high school chapter
and open a knew one to life!

Come With Her
Come with her to the school graduation party
It is father and daughter dancing together
The last dance of the evening
And that is her school
Graduation party
She made it
She has her diploma now
A new life for
Her
Will start after the summer
It will be college time
There are tears and happiness
That fills the air
You can see in
Her class mates
That some are happy and others are sad
She will be a doctor
That is what she is planing to be
Life went fast
She is grown up now
Not a kid any more
Her family is proud of her
She finally said good bye to her teachers at the end of the evening
And left that place forever

It's Graduation
It's graduation!
A day supposed to be the happiest
The happiest at least in half a decade
And here on a molded parapet alone
Sat with visions blurred
And blinks with the speed of the clocks
It's graduation!
A day not as envisaged
With friends, love and family
In high praise and in great pride
In bliss and much merry
With fatted calves and drinks fizzy
It's graduation!
An end to a period of timelessness
In times of hunger and dreams unknown
In times of thirst and early wakes
Missions to accomplish in depths of stress
It's graduation!
A day that begins it all

Lindsay’s Graduation
We were so proud of Lindsay
On her graduation day
She turned a fresh new corner
So much she had to say
For she had passed a milestone
What special memories
So beautiful and so talented
With wonderful qualities
Whatever she chose to do
We knew she’d do it well
Her family looked happily on
Full of pride, we could tell
Of course there are always
Bumps rising in the trail
But with Lindsay’s determination
How could she possibly fail?
It’s so wonderful to watch
Young people at their peak
So willing and so ready
For it’s knowledge that they seek
So we look at Lindsay’s pictures
We knew that she’d go far
Whatever direction she took
She’d be our special star!

Graduation Day
Theres a time a for joy
A time for tears
A time well treasure through the years
Well remember always
Graduation day
At the senior prom
We danced til three
And there you gave your heart to me
Well remember always
Graduation day
Take it away
Take five
Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys weve known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing well never walk alone
When the ivy walks
Are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
Well remember always
Graduation day
Well remember always

Determination
Girl the last time I saw you, you were crying my name
When I put you on the spot,
Will you still feel the same
Show me some determination
Show me the measure of your dedication
I need to see just a reflection of your inspiration
Dont you break down on me
Im looking for someone,
Someone strong enough to believe in
Everybodys looking for someone
Strong enough to stand on his feet
And never break down
Ill put my life on the line and believe what you say
Ill go out on a limb if you meet me halfway
Im looking for someone
To show me what they mean by devotion
Everybodys looking for someone
Prepared to put aside his emotion
And never break down
Youre a new wave raver and you like to talk tough
But can you still cut the mustard
When the going gets rough
I need a demonstration of your determination
Give me an indication of your determination
Three days in the rain and I aint had no sleep
But I wont break down now, I got a promise to keep
Showing my determination
cause thats the way I am

Driven To Succeed
To become the best, to achieve.
Behold! I hold the keys to my dreams.
My vision is clear, my path is in gear.
I see myself becoming one of thee best for many years.
A lawyer, a doctor, or what ever it may be.
Staying focused a main concern, I do believe.

The fun has yet begun, omniscient, be real!

Senioritus
Sitting here waiting
Watching the clock slowly tick
Tic toc Tic toc
The days go by slowly
It's April and May is nowhere in sight
It is getting harder to wake up in the morning
Pushing the snooze button once again
Trying to find reasons to stay home
The mind is elsewhere, floating in the clouds
May is finally here
Graduation is full speed ahead
Seinoritus is getting worse
The heart is set on graduation
The mind wants to sleep in 'til noon
BAM
Graduation is finally here
That was the cure needed all along

Kind Wishes
We started off as strangers,
At least that's what I thought,
But the friendship that we have now could have never been bought.
you were always there giving great advice,
You were always there to shine the light.
You made me laugh and cheer me up,
I would like to say thank you very much.
I wish you the best in the days to come,
I hope that your life always remains under the sun.
A good person like you deserves the best,
Both honor and respect.
I will miss the good times we had,
But I hope that you will keep in touch,
Because the friendship we have, I cherish very much.
I hope you the best on graduation day,
And I won't throw water balloons at you,
But one thing is true,
When you leave, I will miss you.

A Graduation Day Message
May Graduation Day fill your heart
With feelings of accomplishments this day,
To bring you peace of mind and happiness
In every special way.
May the fond memories of school days
Glow warmly in your beloved heart
Where the cherished classmates
Will forever play a vital part.
May Graduation Day be extra special
With elaborate pomp and show,
May the procession of elated graduates
Create glee and parent faces to glow.
May the ceremony for conferring diplomas,
The cards and acknowledgements and flowers
Fill the day with pride and immense joy
And delightful and meaningful hours.
May those you love and respect surround you
To share your moments of glory this day,
May the accolades of Graduation Day
Come into your life to forever stay.

Life's Beginning, Middle, End
Taking your first steps,
Your first birthday,
That nervous feeling you get on that first day of school.
Your first friend who will be there for you.
your highschool years,
Graduation,
College,
university,
The job you get that never seems to fill that gap in your life.
The day of retirement.
The mountains you climb
The vacations you take.
But then,
The days that you wish you could of spent more time with the family.
Then.........

Tea And Scones
I didn't think women made scones
any more.
People still have tea and scones!
Home baking and scones
are memories remembered...
from the earliest childhood years...
when family was primary
and the housewife's role, was esteemed honoured.
What is wrong with being a mother first?
What is wrong with putting your children first?
What is wrong with providing, a loving caring, nurturing home?
What is wrong with giving, an abundance, of love and security?
What is wrong with putting husband, children and home first,
so that family life and family, will be strong and thrive?
A woman of determination and ability will still work.
A woman of determination and ability will still triumph.
She will still achieve, a productive rewarding, successful career.
She may still rise, to the top, dominate any profession her abilities;
dedication, education, personality, management skills; training allow.
Few men, will achieve any better, most will achieve far less.
A man, a true partner, can will, also be a house husband.
A man, can will, also sacrifice, for the career of his partner.
Society, including women, still predominantly, frown on this?
I didn't think women made scones
any more.
People still have tea and scones!
I thought the feminist's philosophy
had driven most women...
forever out of the kitchen and sadly
a few into emulating the worst...
kind of ruthless; misguided
male clone type; exploiting women...
or into brand lesbianism,
forever espousing, rights of women...
forgetting love for fathers
forgetting love for brothers sons...
forgetting a strong family equality practices
strong societies like families safeguard female liberties rights...

Glimpse of Happiness
Hellos and Goodbyes
All in the days of summer
The canvas of sunset
Dancing of colors done by the brush
That then the fantasy story begins
Just a glimpse
A magical second has made
Without even knowing that suddenly
Heart was beating fast
Mind was all blank
In that moment, it turned out in a mess
But love will never in less
The graduation has come
Before marching in a solemn ceremony
Look around to see if the love was there
Then sitting waiting for calling out the graduates
As the graduation ceremony ends
Like the summer ends
Love will and too
For this cold summer bringing up the memories of glimpse
That suddenly turn into something that no one can understand..

Power of Determination
Fortitude of mind can do any miracle
as a testimony, here’s an example.
A lady I know who’s full of willpower
proving her wonderfully a match for the hour.
Married a person, a man of numerous worth,
as a housewife in her family, she too gave childbirth.
Notwithstanding this fact, she had some hidden hopes,
to bloom as an erudite, waiting for the scopes.
She felt a need within for developing sense
to make her life to grow with modern relevance;
power of knowledge that she wanted to achieve,
to educate herself, more and more to perceive.
A decade of efforts brought her graduation
with her own daughter taking examination,
with this enviable quality of her mind
she gathered her degrees with the time she could find.
Higher education paved her path to the top,
In her carrier, as a professor she stopped.
Reverences she earned from all she came across
brought her self-made life a pure satiating gloss.
Thus a mother or a wife could prove by own life
with seeds of her sweet will she forced out all big strife.
Her visions and her goals were put to final shape
with great strength of mind. She never tried to escape.
This old lady – a septuagenarian
has proved her worth as a learned companion.
For all her kith and kin she set an example –
her conviction knew hurdles how to dismantle.
She’s a proud possession for her grown up offspring –
bringing success within self, tuning her life’s string.
This fighting spirit of her may show others a mean
to fulfill cherished dreams not letting them go unseen.

A True Teacher’s Reward
Graduation is the time
when any true teacher
of ability and genuine
heart's calling loves
to behold the success
of students who worked
hard studied strived hoped
to succeed endured in hopes
to make their beloved family
and friends proud who harbour
dreams of doing some good
within this fabric potential world.

Graduation (growing Up)
Graduation is a huge step
Not only for you
Your friends and your family
Don’t know what to do.
Will you keep in touch?
Will you call them every day?
Or will all of their memories,
Simply fade away?
Graduation is adrenaline,
It gets the heart a racing
But your poor folks feel stressed,
Soon they’ll start the pacing.
But knowing you tells me that you will never forget
Your high school years you will never regret
I know…..
That you will call your family
You’ll let them know you’re okay.
Even if you feel like it’s been a shitty day
Your friends will be close by you will surely keep in touch
For simply letting go would be a deadly punch
You will be remembered, your greatness will remain
For you have never caused, aggression, hate, or pain.
I write this to you now to show you that I care,
And also that I’m glad that you are always there.

Blissful Moments
The day I was born
It was on a dawn
I brought zest
As mom's best
Father was happy too
As junior I'm number two
Both my parents are proud
of me even we're now a crowd
Upon graduation in college
Again it was a momentous pledge
As I will be venturing into the future
On my own with confident and secure
When I got married in time
Was another blissful rhyme
For I got a wife whom I love
A true gift form heaven above
Then another junior was christened
Bears my father's proud surname
It was again time of blissful rally
Ever united as one whole family

Better Tomorrow Today
Today is gone,
Tomorrow is unknown,
A better tomorrow is grown,
Through todays toil and moil.
Through todays toil and moil,
The hidden treasures we'll re-coil
And dig out the gold in the soil.
Unity in mind and work is the only key.
Unity in mind and work is the only key,
The only key that will make us see,
Stop what is pulling us into the sea,
The pull of corruption and egotism.
The pull of corruption and egotism,
Of egocentric leaders lead to tribalism,
Will we ever cease from nepotism?
When will patriotism be part of us?
When will patriotism be part of us?
And we together live in peace with no fears?
Of the ruthless, violent beaconing neighbours,
Let we be of single nationality.
Let we be of single nationality,
Converge our concentration positively
Focusing fully on our future formalities.
By multiplying our efforts and determination.
By multiplying our efforts and determination,
Together we'll achieve our vision'
Of bettering the standards of our nation
And making the 2030 vision a reality.
