Graduation '93

Change is a constant force
that happens every day.
From those of us who've just arrived,
to those that fade away.
In our lives- and only once
will there come a certain time:
The day that will change our worlds
and for which I've composed this rhyme.
When that fateful day comes,
there will be a few
Who will try to fight this change
and we will have to say, "Adieu."
For life will not wait,
change will not delay.
Time will pass those by
who attempt to stay.
While the rest of us walk on
and life begins anew.
As we face good times and tragedies
and problems as they brew.
From the well of wisdom, we'll look back
-far back upon today.
Wondering how we made it through
-ever living through the fray.
Until that future day arrives,
we must patiently wait.
For now, let us rejoice in why we are here:
Let us graduate.
