A Bittersweet Graduation
This is a poem I wrote for my graduation ceremony, and well to express my feelings that I lived in my precious school
We're about to leave
And as 14 years
Break apart and start to scream
We gather around to celebrate
Where we face reality and no longer dream
We carry the memories of all the years
To stay with us as we take our leave
Our teachers taught us how to lead
To face our fears
And hide our tears
You go to college to find who you are
Be a loser or be a star
Do what you want and what you love
Because there's more to life
Than just fancy cars
I'm honored and glad to say
I'm so proud of each of you today
For all you know and all you learn
Knowledge is a blessing
Because it's something that you earn
Graduations can be bittersweet
Reminding us of all that's come and gone
Our battles whether lost or won
Yet our friendship we shall never cease
And our dreams we shall always please
To all of you my friends and teachers
My life and secret keepers
Know that I am grateful for your love
And within me it will always shine
Ever remain in the heart of mine
Our footprints have been engraved into the floor
Our handprints have been etched into walls and doors
We have implanted memories in all
And left an impact
Deep down to the core
I remember the good and bad
Whenever down you lifted me up
And never let me feel sad
I will stamp this honor into my heart
That shall never be broken apart
So bless me and smile for me
Promise that you'll be there for me
Sometimes I'll be too blinded to be
Because I have a life to face
Where I'm too lost to find grace
To my children and grandchildren
From kindergarten to graduation
To their bedtime story
I'll never be late
Because you'll be there wonderful fairytale
Education is our flag and glory
And today we fulfill a chapter
From this beautiful life-long story
So join me in thanking our teachers
With their wonderful preaching features
So goodbye dear teacher and graduate
Meeting you was a blessing and fortunate
Our golden time is over now
Yet I will always treasure how
Our relationship that's always been tight and affectionate
