Congratulations Graduates#0

This board has such a mix of ages, so I thought I would send a little message out to those youngins who are graduating this year - congratulations!

Laurie's Song (Copeland, The Tender Land)
Once I thought I'd never grow tall as this fence.
This dragged heavy and slow.
But April came and August went before I knew just what they meant,
and little by little I grew.
And as I grew, I came to know how fast the time could go.
Once I thought I'd never go outside this fence.
This space was plenty for me.
But I walked down the road one day, and just what happened I can't say.
But little by little it came to be
that line between the earth and sky came beckoning to me.
Now the time has grow so short, the world has grown so wide.
I'll be graduated soon. Why am I strange inside?
What makes me think I'd like to try to go down all those roads
beyond that line above the earth and neath the sky?
Tomorrow when I sit upon that graduation platform stand,
I know my hand will shake when I reach out to take that paper with the ribboned band.
Now that all the learnings done,
oh who knows what will now begin?
Oh it's so strange, I'm strange inside.
The time has grown so short; the world so wide.

I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

Thank you! You're all so kind.

I just hope it doesn't rain on my convocation on Friday: cross your fingers, everyone!
