A Generation’s Graduation

A Generation’s Graduation

As students (including my own) count the days until the end of school and the much-anticipated graduation day, these short poems seem particularly appropriate:

Upgrades and Accolades –

A Graduation Celebration

The key to thankfulness, we’ve found,

Is celebrating those around.

We watch you grab your key and wings

And graduate to higher things.

You’ll roll your cuffs to earn your keep

And scale the heights, past challenge steep.

Still, as you climb, your anchor yet,

We pray you’ll not your folks forget.

Diplomas with Diplomacy –

A Haiku Play for Commencement Day

Waiting for your name,

Leaping to my feet to roar,

Your top fan again.
