Happy Graduation to All!!! Of 2026!!!😉😊😍

This above, is a photo I took recently... and this poem, I wrote in 1986... when I graduated PHS...and I'm hoping to see many this year in our 40th Reunion 😊

The Graduation Poem

The friendship we share today is true,

Though tomorrow is whose to say;

When we leave this little town of ours

And go our separate ways.

Both tears and laughter we have shared

Yet we have many songs left to sing

But when it's over and we say goodbye

I wish for you these things: 

To see the wonder of the sunrise

Have your heart beat the rhythm of the rain

To have a day that brings to you

Tears of joy not pain.

To see the twinkle in the stars at night

And the glitter of the morning dew.

To feel the happiness of being the child

That will always be inside of you.

To find the freedom to be yourself

To snooze beneath the shade of trees,

With only the whistling of the birds above

And the gentle whisper of a summer's breeze.

To feel the magic of a moonlit sky

To find a lover in a friend

And to find your happiness along the way

And just not at the rainbow's end.
