Time to celebrate
Earmarks of accomplishment
Footsteps on your path
The neighborhood pets
Your special menagerie
You fed and you walked
Learning a new skill
You looked after the swimmers
A stalwart lifeguard
Veterinarian’s
Assistant you tackled next
Skillful shot-giving
You were on a roll
Becoming camp counselor
And learning to drive
All the while at school
Mostly sailing through classes
Sometimes you floundered
Previous learning
Folds now into Commencement
You begin again
College in Autumn
Time of leaves turning and change
You are on your way
Dear grandson Bobby
March to your chosen drumbeat
You’ve got what it takes

Thanks for your loving comment, Christy. ❤
Lovely!!! A wonderful sweet sentiment!
Thanks, Lynn. He is a wonderful grandson.
So sweet
Congratulations to Bobby – all the best of health and happiness in your next chapter of life
Many thanks, Paul. Bobby is my first grandchild to graduate high school and oddly it is more emotional for me than when his father Bob , the first of my children, graduated from the same high school. Maybe aging makes me an old softy. Also, on this day in 1989 I graduated McCormick Theological Seminary with my Master of Divinity.
so much to celebrate – bless you
Thanks, dear friend.
YaY!!! Bobby is so lucky. Congrats to Bobby…. & you! 😀
Thank you. Bobby’s Graduation Friday night was awesome – and poignant.
Many thanks, Lynn.

He is a dear person. Thanks for your well wishes.
