Four Graduations

I have had four graduations,

The first was in highschool

(I did not attend our grad in elementary,

Because of a controversy.)

I eagerly welcomed the future,

Thru a course of which,

I was somewhat unsure.



High School Grad, 1995



The second graduation was in tertiary

Twas when I earned my first degree

Mom and my siblings took pride in me,

Being the eldest, I was eager to help already.



Bachelor's Grad, 1998



And so I became a teacher,

(Although yes, I have yearned to be a lawyer)

I proceeded to become a Master,

To earn more so I can study law later..



And so after years of teaching in the University,

I was awarded my Master's as a faculty,

It was all I had waited so I can proceed,

To studying the course, I yearned for as a kid.





But the only thing I treasure,

Is the gift beyond any measure,

The friends and family I have,

My precious presents from above.

No degree is necessary,

To be loved and to love anybody.

So I may be gone and my name forgotten,

But this world will not have been the same

without probly knowing a girl named, Cheng. =)
