A Poem for a Greduating Daughter
Young woman, my daughter,
my joy and my heart,
You’re reached the end
only to find a new start.

The world sees the young woman
with her charm and her smile,
but behind the woman
I will always see the child.

• Be the best that you can be…
  Pursue your goals persistently
  Make you fondest dreams come true;
  And most of all,
  Believe in You.
• Remember that overnight succes usually takes about fifteen years.
• Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.
  Dream deel, for every dream precedes the goal.
• Rest not! Life is sweeping by;
  Go and dare before you die.
  Something mighty and sublime,
  Leave behind to conquer time.
• If you want a place in the sun, you’ll have to leave the shade of the family tree.
• The explanation of triumph is all in the first syllable.
• Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
• You won’t dicover new lands nless you lose sight of the shore.
• The uncertainties of the present always give way to the enchanted possibilities of the future. You are destined for greatness. Enjoy you journey and remember to have fun.
• You have brains in your head.
  You have feet in your shoes.
  You can steer yourself
  Any direction you choose.
• I do not know beneath what sky
  Nor or what seas shall be thy fate
  I only know it shall be high,
  I only know it shall be great.
