my poem "Celebrations And Passages In Life" is about all the students graduating from a High School, College or University and the new beginnings and adventures heading their way.

 CELEBRATIONS AND PASSAGES IN LIFE

 

 

The pomp and circumstance

has ceremoniously commence

The speakers have spoken

Imparting their life's gained wisdom

The graduates have filed and procede

Their ribboned diploma's received

When the caps and tassles go flying

And the cheers and applause resounding

And fireworks take off and fly

Lighting up a dark night sky

Heralding a very new beginning

With new adventures coming

I had this thought about "Celebrations And Passages In Life" for over a month, But when I wrote it out....Instead of an "Aire Of Seriousness", I tried to be "Lighthearted And Breezy" in my nwording....And yes, Ron....When I graduated from High School & Tech School I was working part time in a Drug store and mowing neighbors yards....So I already had a great work ethic....And still do....

It certainly is a heady time. Especially if family and friends gather around and either go to the ceremony or join in the party afterwards celebrating a whole new stage of life. Some take to that stage easily, get jobs and move on. Others struggle because they had been coddled and cared for up to this point without responsibility except to study and learn. Reality, for some who are not independent enough, is about to hit them squarely between the eyes.
