Thirteen Years, A High School Graduation Poem

Thirteen years ago you walked into a new world. As your parents secretly wished time would stand still, You left the security of familiarity Overwhelmed with a new set of emotions, Not sure of what was in store for you…

Here you are once again, about to walk into a new world. As your parents secretly wish time would stand still, You leave the security of familiarity

Overwhelmed with a not so new set of emotions, Not sure of what is in store for you.

As you turn your tassel, Celebrate your accomplishments, Remember your last days of school, Remember those who wish you well, Remember those who share your memories because Time will move on and so must you.

Take with you our love, our support, and our encouragement. Stay true to yourself and become the person you were meant to be. But should you have a longing for the familiarity you left behind, Whether next year or even thirteen years from now, Know that you are always welcome in our halls Because you hold a special place in our hearts.
