  1. Thanks To Those Who Helped Me

    Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011

    It's here, I've finally made it,
    Graduation is finally here.
    I would have never made it,
    Without my three musketeers.

    The first is my parents who always,
    Made me believe in all I could be.
    You were always such an inspiration,
    And showed me what I couldn't see.

    The second is the great teachers,
    Who wanted nothing more than me to succeed.
    You've helped and been so patient,
    And were always around when I need.

    And last, but very not least,
    Were my friends who kept me afloat.
    Whenever I felt I was drowning,
    You always came to me by boat.

    Without my three inspirations,
    I don't know if I'd have made it through.
    Now that graduation is near us,
    I don't have to wonder what's true.

    But what I do want to say to you all,
    Is thank you for being you.
    I'm so lucky to have you all with me,
    You've held me together like glue.

    So here I am about to embark,
    In a new journey all on my own.
    I hope I remember your teachings,
    And find my way as you’ve shown.

    Today is the day that I graduate,
    A day unlike any I've owned.
    I know I like to procrastinate,
    But this time I definitely won't postpone.




  2.  I hope I remember your teachings, And find my way as you’ve shown.

  5. Your Belief In Me

    Poet: Kate Summers

    I want to thank you,
    for your belief in me,
    for your patience with me,
    for always taking the time to help me,
    and for those four little words that helped me when I was discouraged:
    "You can do it!"



  6. I Wanted To Quit

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    So many times I wanted to quit
    But you would say, "just sit"
    Then patiently you would show
    How it works and how it flows.

    You saw something in me
    That I never imagined could be.
    Your encouragement meant so much
    You picked me up when I felt crushed.

    You pushed me to do more
    And showed patience when I was sore
    Your helping attitude was one
    That without you, I would not have won.

    For all your support I thank you
    Much credit to you is due.
    I would never have made it thru
    Thank you for all you've done and do!




  7. Words Can Never Say

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Words can never say
    Or express how I feel this day
    What you mean to me
    What you helped me be
    The difference you have made
    In my mind will never fade
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart
    For the knowledge and wisdom, you did impart.




  8. I Have To Say

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    This graduation day, I have to say
    I appreciated your support in every way.
    Your encouragement meant so much to me
    You have shaped the person I am and will be.

    The future brings new dreams and hope
    The wisdom you shared will help me cope.
    Thank you for believing in me
    I will make you proud, you will see.
