A rainbow stretches ‘cross the sky
In honor of the years gone by,
This chapter of your life is done
Just as another is begun.

A torch forever burning bright
Throughout the day and into night,
Shall be within your heart always
In memory of your childhood days.

As you stand tall and spread your wings
You will move on to greater things,
But, in due time, you shall return
To all the lessons you have learned.

Within these walls, sturdy and strong
Upon this journey, rich and long,
Be safe, be well, these things I pray
On this, your graduation day.
