Grad Speech


Life has been hard yet it's barely begun.
Just starting to live yet I feel like I've won.
The grace of God has brought me here
And family love that I hold dear.
I've had to fight, I've had to cry
For far to long I have been shy.
I've travelled the world. I'm truly blessed
Forgive me for saying my life is the best.
Growing with no one, maturing with many,
A few close friends and even less money.
I've learned so much throughout my years
Had ups and downs
Been up to HERE
I've found myself I've lost myself,
Well, enough talking about myself.
