Graduation Poem

Graduation Day


Graduation Day is the climax of a dream.
A parental dream that began when a child is born,
And their hope come true it would seem,
A triumph held after periods of forlorn,
A feeling of pride and euphoria years away
For a daughter or son - Graduation Day.

It is a peak of success for the graduate,
Not only for the graduate but parents too.
A joyful event after many years they had to wait,
Realizing the glorious thrill of a dream come true,
A genuine smile accompanied by a deep sigh,
Often a handkerchief in hand as the class goes by.

Graduation is a deserving, hard earned goal
With mortarboard and gown as foretold,
A gratifying service of the mind and soul
In a simple and beautiful sheepskin told
That the graduate fulfilled the educational rule.
At last, for the mother and father, a dream come true.
Graduation Day!

my house was gone when i came home

I came home one day and my house was gone, I was immediately stampeded with fear and tears. Called my mom while to see what was wrong and what we were going to eat that night or if we would ever get to eat again?! Well... She didn't answer so I proceeded to call my pops, he didn't answer either. Four long, tough years went by and I grew myself a beard and made friends with a volley ball and became a very skilled hunter. Thankfully I watched survivor man and judged wildlife to know which plants were edible in this south plains of Texas. So at this point in my life i live under a canvas teepee and i wear a tunic.
