Graduation to Life

Today is the last day of your past
You’re equipped to play your part in the role you were cast
Now is the time to look forward and conquer your future
To prove to yourself more than others that you really are mature
Memories you made can be used to look back and reminisce
But if you look too long, all the new experiences you’re sure to miss
From this day forward, remember that God has put the entire world in your hands
Not just your backyard or down the street, but also far and distant lands
He has already answered your prayer to live a life outside of the box
But you must be sure you’re there to answer when opportunity knocks
Here you go into foreign territory
But that’s what you gotta do to prepare an original ending to your story
Where you go, you’ll never be alone
We were brought together so we can be each other’s ‘mobile home’
The unity here does not stop when we leave from inside these walls
It goes everywhere, and is always ready with open arms when one of us falls
Every face and name you may not know
But these will be the faces you look to when you hit that low
Precise promises one should never make
But I’m willing to bet that as long as we’re invited, we’ll be with you every step you take
We’re all headed the same way
And many of us have been where you are now, here in present day
Utilize your talents and abilities, whatever they might be
So that in the end we can all tell God, “there’s nothing left, I used every gift you gave me.”
