Graduation Week
Spinning, twisting, rotating, life,
hard to stay on the ball.
Milestones, minutes, memories, such
momentous occasions, all.
Planning, doing, helping, staging,
parties, people, stress.
Happy, sad, exhausted, thrilled,
emotions a crazy mess.
Pausing, remembering, pondering kids
who couldn’t tie their shoes.
Now they’re flying without wings,
into futures they find or choose.
Many prayers as they climb those stairs.
Tears and smiles for the show.
Sending love, supplies, support,
to the unknown where they go.
