"Balloons" - Graduation Bear

Bittersweet is the word to describe
Those wonderful anxious thoughts
At times looking back to those you love
And memories they have brought


Then looking forward towards uncharted ground
A Future bright as the sun
Of looming efforts, experiences, goals
So much work must still be done


The love of those who helped you achieve
The parting from some held dear
All those hoping you will make your mark
People who helped get you here.

Dreams to imagine and goals to set
Small victories become the key
Achievements won and success begun
You start life's captivating journey
