Outside a storm raged
the thunder roared |
A memorable sound Outside a storm raged The thunder roared Inside the crowd fell silent As hearts soared It felt like a dream Thought up in their heads Their stomachs grew weak As names were said The moment was here To step up to the plate The day for their future The day for their fate Years had gone by Things had all turned All they had experienced All they had learned Four years ago They began something new Everyone was lost Not sure what to do A new world, a new chance A glamour game to some All with the hopes That this day would come From football to golf From dances to plays Nothing could replace Their high school days Tears dripped to the ground As smiles lit up the stage Time for an end Time for a change Some walked with relief Others with pride Some walked with pain For fear of good bye This isn’t an ending To a novel or book Its really a beginning When you take another look From this day forward They each walk on their own Ready for the real world That they must face alone This moment is a door A door for tomorrow And should be filled with smiles Not pain or sorrow On this day with their white and black gowns They shall each remember How their name sounds For that is the moment That shows who they are That They struggled and fought In the hopes of getting this far By Shannon Murphy 2007 Dedicated to the Graduates of 2007 |
