Life starts out with simple things, As we grow old and wise,
Things come our way confused and yes, sometimes disguised.
We get wrapped up with problems, that really shouldn't matter,
And we get hurt or lose our way.
Life deals us curve balls even beamers that knock us down.
But life continues onward, each day, one foot step at a time.
When problems arise so must we to meet them head on,
we will not give up without a fight we will stay true, and be strong.
When we've accomplished our goal, life still continues on.
As we graduate high school, we leave what we know and love,
but life must go on. We Have triumphed gloriously our 12 years of growing up.
Because here we are today, prepared for this day.
Shed your happy tears,World we're on our way!!!

Now life begins
When at school, one dreams of big things to come, and some will go on to realize their wildest dreams and beyond. Only 1% will do that, 4% will achieve moderate success and the rest will just get by. That's the sad truth and all the education in the world won't change that fact as that's how it's always been. Still we all live in hope, and that's better than just dying sad. Another well writen poem, emotions deeling with graduation and the aftermath. A long journey you face ahead, prepare yourself well for life can and will push you down in the dirt, and when it does, just brush yourself off and move on. You can fail a million times, but you only need to be successful the one time, remember that and you'll do well. Anyway enjoyed reading and thanks for sharing.
