Oh The Places You'll Go!

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Adopted title from Dr. Seuss’s book Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

A graduate from the illustrious Hampton U

You earned success only achieved by a few

Now onto medical school to become the next Dr. Powe

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Try as you might

You can’t control everything in sight

There will be days that make you frown

But remembering who you are will always turn that sad face upside down

Your parents purposefully named you Jèan-Claire

Meaning you are happy, versatile, and able to accomplish a great deal with special flair

You are responsible, determined, and clever

And your love of home and family will last forever

You are a Queen like Esther

Exhibiting grace and wisdom in the face of crushing pressure

A pretty face and pleasing figure, you are very beautiful in every way

And I would like to personally congratulate you on reaching this glorious day

While this is the end of step one

There’s a lot more in your future to be won

I ask that you allow me to stand beside you as you grow

Because Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
