A TRIBUTE TO REACHING HIGHER GRADUATES

You are a miracle

There is no doubt

And the wonder of you

The world can’t do without

Now you are focused

The journey begins

Setting your goals

Let us count all your wins

You’re a positive force

Steadfast and true

Fears and bad choices

Are not part of you

Celebrate your uniqueness

Don’t limit your life

Plant great seeds

Diminish the strife

You have the attitude

To stay positive

Remember the promise

It’s your life to live

You are talent and beautiful

You are a star

You are somebody

Yes, you are

You know how to p.o.p.

And break a rope

You jumped off the stump

And will stay full of hope

So keep Reaching Higher

That is where you look

Because you should only look down

When reading a book

If you ever feel lonely

Remember “share chair”

For you won’t be alone

If you remember to share

You’re special, You’re gifted

You are filled with great light

So do the right thing

And your life will be bright.
