0So the end is near
Its still so unclear
What will be coming next
Time to say goodbye
We’ll laugh and we’ll cry
But never forget eachother
were all sad to go
And we may never know
the what-ifs and could have beens
But were all here together
for one last time
cherish the moment
it wont last forever

0You look around at the changing world,
Everything is so different,
Friends have changed,
Teachers have too,
It all went by to quick,
Seems as only a couple months,
But that could be good,
These past four years have been the best,
Yesterday I was harrassed as a freshman,
Today I’m walking across te stage,
Getting the single piece of paper that means so much,
Your life has really just began,
So much to look forward to,
Now its through the double doors i go,
Only to start over as a freshman,
But now in the real world,
So bye bye to all my high school friends,
Hope to see you soon,
But I’ve really got to go now,
Because I have th ewhole world ahead of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0Wow! Can you imagine graduation day
just like that! Flames of the Spirit
piercing you, giving you power, authority
Tongues of flames giving tongues to speak
to the people around the world
such an ordination ceremony
was the Pentecost, when the disciples
became the apostles, the teachers,
when the meek gained their mettle
and preachers were born

0She wore her sister’s dress again
this time to her graduation
the same dress, her sister wore
to start her school year
two years ago
marking milestones
on the digital frame
sisters walking together
in staccato steps
each growing
in their own time
their own ways
growing so fast
before our eyes

0I heard the murmurs, the exclaiming
the muted hushed knowing
on the growing, the maturing
the changes in all of them
the little children who became students
the girls and boys who walked into the class
and the young learners leaving
ready for more challenges
greater lessons, with a foundation built
laid brick by brick by their loving hands
nurtured day by day throughout the year
joy in their hearts, smiles on their faces
each one of them, in the review of their year
their first year in school
memorialize in the pictures, yes;
but more sure than that
in the knowing of how much they have grown

0I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his tumb
in secret
how come my knees are
always so ashy
what if I die
before the morning comes
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
I have to learn how to dance
in time for the next party
my room is too small for me
suppose I de before graduation
they will sing sad melodies
but finally
tell the truth aout me
There is nothing I want to do
and too much
that has to be done
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
Nobody even stops to think
about my side of it
I should have been on Math Team
my marks were better than his
why do I have to be
the one
wearing braces
I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
