Graduation Day

ONCE SHE WAS JUST A BABE...
A TINY LITTLE GIRL.
THEN SHE WAS IN FIRST GRADE
AND OUT TO FACE THE WORLD.

I'D BARELY TURNED AROUND
AND KNEW THAT IT WAS NEAR.
SHE'S STANDING IN HER GOWN
AND GRADUATION'S HERE.

IT'S GRADUATION DAY!
SHE'S NOT A LITTLE GIRL!
A LADY ALL THE WAY
AND READY FOR THE WORLD.

IT'S MOMENTS SUCH AS THIS
THAT MAKE SWEET MEMORIES.
A GRADUATION KISS;
A PRAYER DOWN ON OUR KNEES.

AND SO I ASKED THE LORD
TO TELL ME WHAT TO SAY
TO CAPTURE TIME WITH WORDS
ON GRADUATION DAY.
