Poetry
THE GRADUATES
BY MARICON A. ATUBANG and JOAN ORPIA
G
ift most precious than gold,
Made it the inspiration to a goal.
Dreamt the highest, hoped for the best
Never withdrew, sure to pass the test!
R
ose, stood, faced the hardships
Flapped our wings, soared the sky
Believed in ourselves, aimed high
Didn’t give up, continued the fight!
A
nd tears were shed but not of sadness,
They’re of triumph, they’re of gladness
For untold trials were never problems
They’re like frictions to polish a gem!
D
id all things with full determination
We needed no accolade nor appreciation
Did all we can and never quitted the game
And never said: “God is to be blamed”!
U
ntil that day when we shall walk on stage
It’ll be the time we’re out of the cage
Not a prisoner’s but true leader’s den
Armed ready to where the battle will begin!
A
nd eagles we became, with two large wings
Waiting for what the future may bring
Proud at last! we’ll see our parents’ faces
Jubilantly shouting we’ve won a race!
T
eachers of ours we’re leaving behind
Memories of you deeply buried in mind
We’ve caused you aches, pains, and cries
We’ll never forget you ‘till we die.
E
ncouragement we always find in school
Promises to keep, all those golden rules
Surely they light our ways
And make us overcome our pride!
S
o here we are, standing, before you
Holding our Diplomas of great value
After this, our happiness, but with a sigh
For we’ll say farewell but not goodbye!
