As I walk down the aisle
in sync to the traditional tune,
I see my lifetime friends,
and know our lives will be separate soon.
I see hopeful faces,
eager and frightened, too.
But now it's our time
to get out and try something new.
Standing in front of you tonight,
I'm so proud we didn't quit.
No matter how many times we groaned,
Here we all are, we made it.
So look around at each other,
remember the years we spent
trying to get to this day,
now knowing what it meant.
Dare to gaze into the future,
map your life's design-
And know it all started with
the class of 2009.

"I don't know what lays beyond the mountains of my back yard" You've reminded me of a line from my own graduation poem. Jeez... been along time. Nice one kiddo. Your poetic talent beams.

Anyway, this was very well-written. Great job! good luck in the contest you entered
