I remember thinking
these children would never
get to this stage, yet
here there were–
Flowing blue gowns; smiles,
make-up & glitter
Remember those girls
freshman year, World History
smiling and silly; they promised
to drive me crazy…
And yes they did slightly
But here we were
Music playing, former students
marching in line
to take seat on cushy cushions
vs. those hard plastic chairs
from freshman year–
Oh how they used to fight
(yes physically) & cuss,
skip class & vape
like chimneys on Christmas
And here we are
fights resolved, faces fixed,
attended enough classes to
pass–
Mama’s proud.
And I’m sure some will vape
by the end of the ceremony
Congratulating the class of 2025
I remember.
