When….


 

When you walk down the isle in your cap and gown

in your beautiful dress of style and grace,

I will always remember the look on your face.

 

When you walk on stage with the rest of your peers,

I will wait in the audience with my eyes filled with tears.

 

When you leave the stage with your diploma in your hand,

there's something important that I need you to understand.

 

When there's a time you need a friend and have something to share,

always remember that I will always be there.

 

 



 
I wrote this for a student many years ago who struggled emotionally and academically. I had so much faith in her and supported her every step of the way and she graduated. I will always be proud of her. To this day she still comes by once in a while to visit me on my lunch break and takes me out to lunch. It's always great to see her and she how much she's grown into such a beautiful responsible, mature and strong woman.
