GRADUATION

Graduation is not the end of but the beginning of learning.

It is one measure of your capacity to be wise and discerning.

However, life’s experiences and the world around you will teach you most of the best,

Including knowing who you are, being true to yourself, and how to live life to its fullest.

You are now an aspiring young graduate who must earn his spurs by riding and taming a wild steed,

Tasks you are readily willing and able to accomplish considering your strong will and desire to succeed.

So, to you our precious, dear grandchild, we wish you great success as you enter life’s rodeo,

And that you will as we have done, be able to win more than just one first prize in the show.
