A final ceremony, a final goodbye

A day of celebration and of sorrow

An ending to start anew

A time to say 'Goodbye' to old friends

A  time to say 'Hello' to the world unknown

It is the day that lets us break from the chains of high school

And lets us burden the responsibilities of adults

But do not be afraid

You will find new friends, new loves, and new hopes

Graduation is not the end, but the beginning of your life

The fear inside will be faced

The joy inside will be shown

All of this is in your hands now

You can do it

I know you can

Let this be my somewhat prayer to those who believe

Let this be a wish to those who look towards the stars

Let this be luck to those who seek fortune

Let this be a caring gesture to those who care

It is not over, but it has begun

This is our story

Lets make more pages and write on


-From the bottom of my heart
