The door has closed on childhood,
The door to adulthood gapes wide;
Lives are going to change,
As grads catch a new ride.

The toys they played with are gone,
New responsibilities take their place;
Hang tight to all of your dreams,
As you enter into life's race.

Find that which you love,
Go after it with all your might;
Always be true to yourself,
And you will sleep well at night.

Set a goal in your life,
Never allowing dreams to fade;
Work towards that goal each day,
Remembering promises you made.

Life is a gift to cherish,
Love you must always share;
Give to the people around you,
To the world ever be aware.

If you keep your life full,
And treat people as you should;
Thank God for your many gifts,
And life will become what it could.
