Graduation day is coming


Graduation day is coming here,

And so now is your high school career.

Always remember the friends you hold dear,

And look toward your future with no fear.

This is the day you've been preparing for

Since the day you walked through this classroom door.

Now it is time to say goodbye,

And spread your wings - you're ready to fly.

So shed a tear and share a smile,

And be sure to remember all the while,

That although it may now be time to move on,

Today's memories will last your entire life long.

Don’t forget the four years that have gone by

This is a see you later, not a goodbye

We all have stressed

But this is not over a test

Appreciate the people you have grown with 

This is not about a locksmith

Now we have to be 6 feet apart

Do we have to be so distant?

This is not about the amendments 

It’s about rewriting the laws to fit the needs we need to make adjustments. 

At first, we had no education, and they segregated us

We should not become isolated

Be with your family

Not a Hamley

We are better together than alone 

We shouldn’t have to be on our own 

We are going to be graduating so keep your friends close

Don’t push them away just keep them near
