When we first walked down those halls,
We started our very own novel.
With homecoming floats, football games....
At the memories we marvel.

With every step and every word,
We wrote another page.
Laughter, happiness, sorrow and pain
Helped fill our high school stage.

Tonight we come together,
Once again as friends.
Awaiting that single moment,
Where our road of life will bend.

These will be the hours....
To shine ever so bright.
As smiles show our happiness
And tears cloud our sight.

As graduation gets ever closer,
Prom is done and the party after.
Don’t put your book on the shelf,
We’re only closing our childhood chapter.

Years from now, we’ll smile and say....
How fast the time has gone.
Flowing through every day....
Like a well tuned song.

So, as we walk across that stage
Of new lives, each a contender...
We’ll look to the past, diplomas in hand,
Our one sweet day to always remember.
