To Graduates...Congratulations for a Job Well Done



Whether you are graduating from Middle School to High School or from High School to College,
You deserve a special commendation for sticking to your goal to complete the mission.  It is not easy to stay focused with so many distractions.  With the added stress of school shootings and bullying in the schools, it can become a challenge, but you did it.


Children of Tomorrow, 4



Children of tomorrow,

Where are you headed what do you see?

What will your future be?

For every problem,

There is an answer.

Keep searching.

You will find the answers.

The hatred in the universe can be reversed.

By design,

This is your time

Through disappointments, set-backs.

Persecution and fear,

You can persevere.

You are on the right track.

Don’t turn back

Keep lifting your voice

It’s time for new choices

You are on the path to a better day

My daughters and sons,

There is a new day forming on the horizon

Let this be the one.

It doesn’t matter if you are as dark as the darkest night

You can be white as the whitest white,

Together, you can make things right.

The world hears your cries.

They can see the determination in your eyes.

It may take many tries,

But keep pressing towards the prize.

Children of tomorrow,

Where are you headed what do you see?

What will your future be?

There is a new day on the horizon.

Morning is sure to come.

Let this be the one.

Let this be the one.

If you are to save your daughters and your sons,

Let this be the one

No more wishing and hoping

That a day of change will come.

Let this be the one

If we want to save our daughters and sons.

Let this be the one.

Children of tomorrow where are you heading?
What do you see?
You have dreams to pursue
How will you make them come true?
The future is in your hands
You alone will seal tomorrow’s plans
The world sees you as a generation lost,but
There is more to you than the world can see
You can live victoriously.
If you don’t know which way to go,
Know,
For every problem, there is an answer. 
Keep searching and you will find the answer.
The hatred in this universe can be reversed
By design,
This is your time.
You have the gift of an open mind.
Through disappointments, set
Backs and persecution,
Keep searching for a solution.
You are on the right track.
Don't turn back.
Keep lifting your voice
The world will hear
what you have to say.
It's time for new choices.
You are blazing the path to a better way.
My daughters and sons,
There is a new day dawning
I can finally see the sun
There is hope on the horizon.
I hear your cries
I see the determination in your eyes.
No matter how many tries it takes,
Keep your eyes lifted to the skies
Keep pressing towards the prize.
Some say you are a generation lost
But that doesn’t have to be.
Children of tomorrow
Where are you headed?
What do you see?

This is a combination of two poems.

Believe in you and you will make it through.
