My Son the Graduate
by Cynthia Ice
I have waited for this day, through twelve years of school. From the first day you caught the bus on your first day of kindergarden, as the tears streamed down my cheeks all the way to watching you walk down the isle to receive your High School Diploma, these tears still stream from my cheeks. So proud to see you wear that cap and gown, but, sad to see you leave your home town. I know you must go and find your pathway in life, I just hope it's without any strife. You, my young man, have made me a very proud mother throughout the years,there is nothing I would not do for you, so if by chance you happen to stop by someday just to see your old room, I will meet you at the door with my arms held open to embrace you and these tears streaming down my cheeks, not because I am sad, but, because you have grown into a wonderful man. Love forever, Mom
