ALL OF 90 SECONDS HEY PRESTO


It’s my graduation,
What an awesome day,
What can I say,
Up a few steps,
Then capped,
Then down a few,
Between me and you,
All of 90 seconds
No more,
No fuss, no trumpet,
No encore,
I studied, I slaved,
I cried,
I worked through
The night,
For 4 years,
For this honor,
My family hardly 
Heard my name,
But this
Was for me,
My moment of fame.
Made all the
More special,
With the presence
Of my 13 year old son,
Homework all done,
Yodeling his admiration,
In true traditional
South African style.

Ahhh!! How wonderful. Graduations are special for each child or person. Sometimes it is adults that are rewarded with a special day because they did all the work. Thanks for sharing. Keep on writing. Sara K

Well done for your achievement. Too true the moment may seem so finite, but it is not, for it is yours forever. Hugs all around especially your son.

Congratulations on your graduation. You are a winner. Hooray!!! I enjoyed reading your wonderful write. Guess it is just about 90 seconds if that for each person/so sad. All the time/work one puts in, the time should be much longer. Hope you had a great/blessed day........
