Graduate Poem by Lechelle Jones (01.24.91,D.C)

You sit
You wait
You ponder
You wonder
You see
They call your name
Your heart skips a beat
After all the things you've been thru
The end of the tunnel is coming to you
You smile then you walk
Shake hands but don't talk
Its your time to shine
People said you wouldn't make it
But now you prove it to them all
Showing them your destined to rise and not fall

No one can rob you from this joy
You did it all and still gave birth to your little boy

A graduate that's what your are indeed
Not only in highschool
But in life you did succeed
Yes you still have more doors to open
Which makes it more close
But you'll prosper in it all
Whether your an entreperneur or painting toes

Thru God you will rise
In spirit, health and wealth
For its him who gives you this Life,
Love,
Joy.
And not self.
