Let the wind be at your back
As you go through the coming years
Youth and laughter set the pace
For a life well spent
A free thinker,
Street tough and sweet
Running, caring, learning
Ready to take on the world
Let the others be envious
Of your beauty and grace
As you graduate and begin
A new phase of your life
Splurge on beauty,
Take time to enjoy your youth
Let the rivets of tomorrow
Steady your progress
As the wheels turn
Toward a halcyon future
That may be a nonplus today.
