Memories float among the abyss, <br />As hearts smile with joy, <br />And cry with loneliness. <br />Although happiness prevails, <br />The sorrow lingers on. <br />People glow a new shade, <br />And life begins to take on new meaning. <br />The long speeches and the loud applause’s fill the void. <br />The joyful cheers and the bone crushing hugs subside the pain <br />Today is graduation day. <br />It is not an ending but a new beginning.<br /><br />Lauren Humphrey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/graduation-day-13/
