Pathways

The years have come and gone

Now you've reached graduation day

Time to proceed from the nest

And start making your own way

We stand behind you blowing wind in your sails

Proudly acknowledging the direction of your pathways

The standing ovations, tears and cheers

Reflections of moving tassels from one side to the other

Caps thrown in the air we lose sight of them yet we they're there

Just as you may stumble during your journey

We're still here

Your mission is to focus on your pathways

The bitter sweetness of giving you a world

Not so long ago given to us

With your drive and dedication set this thing on fire

Blaze a trail for all to admire

Excel to plateaus where you're highly favored and desired

Never accept less than to what you aspire

As you charge forward on your pathways

So congrats to you as we send you on your way
