Graduation

Graduation

The day you longed for has finally come

Be bold enough, take hold of it, treasure it, it's yours

You can now taste it, so relish the moment

Your future as bright as the sun has just begun

Savor the true essence that is this day

Where mission and purpose embrace 

Where many days you cried, you prayed 

Beckoned by glarey eyes of a future face

Reach out, touch it, it's why you're in this space

After many sleepless nights, you're here

When no one was around but you, to care

The food you ate, the clothes you wore 

Stood out in a crowd for something more

You step across the stage onto life's next phase

In your gown, hood and cap, tassel just switch

Your future begging you to take it on

No hassel, you're well prepared, it's just begun

The cheering crowd reminds you of this

In your book of life it came not by chance

Every page you read made this possible

Effort, grit, discipline prepared you in advance

Just what you needed to take you this far

Doors of this world are ajar; await a star

You will live your years, filled with cares

Realised the essence of your coming forth

All that you sought will come to nought

But for a life of prayers express through tears

To finally realized your purpose, your true worth

Will you be ready, standing on the threshold of eternity

If told, to step onto a grander stage

The Ultimate Graduation? 

When(Sent)

I think of you wondering what you do

My heart is gladdened to know a friend

One so dear to me, so few and true

All else fails, you're faithful to the end

Life can be uncertain, yea unpredictable 

A voice reminds me I'm not alone 

My spirit is stirred to press on, believe I'm able

I'm not discouraged, for I'm almost home

All around someone I looked for, can't be found

Days go by that I need to hear

It's nice to know a familiar sound 

From one I know who truly cares

In the end, I'm truly blessed my friend

Time, if chooses to wrap us in its arms

Will not be distracted by that which portend

Release from its embrace will come

Our freedom looms large in His palms
