A Fresh Graduate With A Scholar Tag(New)
May smell good, but has to be toasted.
The fresh graduates out of the universities,
May look smart, but have to be experienced.
What knowledge that can be obtained,
Reading through these heaps of books?
What intelligence that can be settled,
Doing all these assignment and paper work?
How efficiently that we are molded,
Attending those seminars and half baked workshops?
How out of world scholars are we,
When the lay man on the sites call us fools?

Graduation Day
Graduation Day is the climax of a dream.
A parental dream that began when a child is born,
And their hope come true it would seem,
A triumph held after periods of forlorn,
A feeling of pride and euphoria years away
For a daughter or son - Graduation Day.
It is a peak of success for the graduate,
Not only for the graduate but parents too.
A joyful event after many years they had to wait,
Realizing the glorious thrill of a dream come true,
A genuine smile accompanied by a deep sigh,
Often a handkerchief in hand as the class goes by.
Graduation is a deserving, hard earned goal
With mortarboard and gown as foretold,
A gratifying service of the mind and soul
In a simple and beautiful sheepskin told
That the graduate fulfilled the educational rule.
At last, for the mother and father, a dream come true.
Graduation Day!

Graduation Day (to be read at graduation)
Like children in fear
Of their innocence lost
We all dreamed our dreams
At unlimited cost
But the reality of our hopes
Always seemed to be in vain
Because the hands of desparation
Left no ground for us to gain
Never seeing a way out
Would only feed our frustration
Like a hungry naked man
In the face of humiliation
And to the height of any challenge
We refused to climb at all
Because our hearts were far removed
By the fear that we might fall
But today we are free
To be the souls of all our dreams
As the fabric of our desires
Are held firmly at the seams
For with patient endurance
We reached a brand new plateau
Where our dignity and pride
Could have a real chance to grow
So let our yesterday's fears
Be a long forgotten past
As we face up to the challenge
Of life's new unending tasks
Like the stretching hands of time
We may never reach an end
But at least now we have the means
To fight back...to defend
For there will come a time
When our names are less than words
Our thoughts are never known
And our speech never heard
But in the time we have been given
Let us not forget this day
Because the price it cost
To get this far
Was a price only you could pay.

Create glee and parent faces to glow.
May the ceremony for conferring diplomas,
The cards and acknowledgements and flowers

To share your moments of glory this day,
May the accolades of Graduation Day
Come into your life to forever stay.
