Graduation Sayings
Graduation/Daughter
A Poem for a Graduating Daughter
Young woman, my daughter,
my joy and my heart,
You've reached the end
only to find a new start.
The world sees the young woman
with her charm and her smile,
but behind the woman,
I will always see the child.
Author: Unknown

Graduation/Son
I have waited for the day with sweet anticipation.
The joy and pride that fills my heart has been
my revelation,
That you are indeed an extraordinary young man,
a blessing beyond explanation.
So here before you I proudly stand and as I struggle to let go of your hand,
I pray...
That God will watch over you no matter where you go,
That you will never lose your balance no matter how
hard the wind may blow.
That you always remember home and the love that we
have for you.
And that you always give glory to God for all that he
will enable you to do.
Congratulations my beautiful son...
your day has come.
Author: Lisa M Billing

Fifteen years ago you were only three,
growing more and more curious of the world around
you each day. You were my precious baby boy and the
thought of you some day becoming a young man was
so far away.
Ten years ago you were only eight,
growing more independent, becoming more perceptive
of the world around you each day. A baby boy
you were no more. Still, the thought of you graduating
high school, making decisions without me, was
something too far down the road to look for.
Five years ago you were thirteen,
growing more precocious, with such self-awareness
that would sometimes leave me speechless.
I knew that may baby boy was growing up,
but part of me was not ready nonetheless.
Today you are eighteen,
and this is just the beginning for you.
I cannot hold your hand anymore
to keep you safe while crossing the street.
I cannot tell you whom you should trust and not trust
out of the many you will meet.
Because today you are eighteen,
when just the other day you were three.
Once my baby boy and now my young man,
I thank God for all of those years and the blessing
of you that He has given me.
Congratulations !

Graduation Generic
Today a dream is coming true.
A world of possibility lies ahead for you.
Look back with me over 18 years...
We've shared a lot of happiness, joys, and tears.
I pray I've given you all you have needed
Because today, finally, you have succeeded.
When you walk across the platform today,
Know all my pride and love go with you...
Every step of the way.
Author: Dana Roberts Clark

The future is as bright
as the student looking towards it.
The only thing standing in the way
on graduation day is a tassel
that tickles a shining face,
and twinkling eyes so full of grace.
The future is as bright
as my child looking towards it.
Nothing stands in the way
or a beautiful graduation day.
