For our graduation, my friend and I volunteered to plan and play music, and give the offering of thanks at the very end. I debated about what we should do-since there were two of us speaking, most of what we spoke would need to be planned, otherwise it would probably sound cheesy and girly and pretty sentimental. ;) Plus, I felt like tag-teaming at something as huge as our graduation wasn't an option. The light-bulb flickered on and I went on a search for a graduation "thank-you" poem. I couldn't find one. Now, I will be the first to admit that I am not very internet-searching savvy, but I did not reveal any poems in my search. So I wrote one. Feel free to borrow it if you wish, but remember all the plagerism stuff they taught you in middle school. :) How would you feel if you were the author?
It is meant to be in two speaking parts since there were two of us, so I will include those, but it can also be spoken as one piece.
#1: I dream of heaven,
At night when I close my eyes.
#2: God's given us a tiny taste of it
In these young years of our lives.
In happy times, in challenging
Moments when He pulls us through,
#1: But most of all He's shown us love,
And grace and heaven in you.
Thank you for the time you've given-
For sharing wisdom in your arts.
For teaching us and helping us
To grow with God inside our hearts.
#2: The knowledge you've imparted
We'll take with us as we go,
But before we say our last farewells,
There is one thing you should know:
#1& 2: For every lesson taught,
Our desire to learn has grown.
We thank you for preparing us
To set out on our own.
We pray we'll be a light
To all those in our path.
Just like you are lamps and beacons
Shining now and in our past.
Thank you all!
