Rhymes of My Soul

Graduation

I am imagining saying my greatest oration.

Thinking my future and what lies ahead.

Hundreds may be feeling the same way too.

But only few will wear pendants over their heart.

.

When I was young I was asked what I wanted to be.

I would just shrug because I did not know the answer.

I was challenged to find the answer to that question.

Spent many nights reading and learning.

.

I can get a compromise or make a promise.

To those who helped me and expect I would shine.

I can make excuses or find somebody to blame.

If I would make mistakes and wrong decisions in my life.

.

Someday I will be the one to ask someone what he desires to be.

And remind him to struggle and follow a dream.

I wish that all my hardships will be fruitful.

By providing the most powerful weapon to change the world.
