The Graduate Yesterday was never ending Today at last you smile, For yes, you have arrived You've walked that longest mile. And now with all that is behind You stand to gain your prize, On this your graduation day Our hearts shall burst with pride. As you stand upon the podium And lift your head up high, We'll all give thanks to God above While holding back the tears we cry. God bless you, as you step ahead To find all that He has planned, May His strength and wisdom lead you always As you take hold His Hand. Congratulations Go forth with our loving prayers Soft Whispers from Derry's Heart Poems © 2004 used with permission heartwhispers@iinet.net.au
