You worked the reins with dedication
You kept your focus on the objective
Your vow not wavered nor voided
Successively, milestone by milestone
By genuine effort, by your hard work
By the solid support of your parents
This voyage ends, a mission realized
You clutch your diploma with a smile
The victory bell rings your success
Your accomplishments play loudly
But within you silent whispers hum
The passion of yet a new beginning
That as this phase comes full circle
And another has gently commenced
And here, a new sense of adventure
A longing, a prodding to new heights
You climbed down the stage waving
Your awards clutched in your hand
And you sense it - a void, a tingling
The beat and throbbing of ignorance
Still thumps within, and beckons to
A particular desire and vociferously,
Invokes a unique direction, a calling
A hunger for something greater still
New dreams, greater successes loom
New challenges more effort demands
And this voyage calls for much more
Devotion, passion, integrity, fidelity
A firm undertaking, an honest work
And by fulsome doggedness towards
The calling to be the best of yourself
Shunning unnecessary distractions
