I dedicated this little poem to my son’s culminating 5th grade class in 2004. I thought it was very sweet and everyone loved it when he and his best friends read it out loud.

I have traveled a short trip to get this far
I have driven past obstacles that set out to hinder me
I have gone beyond the limits and fought to be where I am today
I have made choices
I have made it through
I have begun to take that journey of a lifetime
Years have gone by
There are many more to come
I have traveled along this path
I know will lead me through
We push through the barriers with means to defer us
We struggle with pressures that mean to harm us
We fought our way to the top and now we are here
We have begun to take that journey of a lifetime
We have been molded and scolded and groomed into the young people we are today
We have been molded and scolded and groomed into the people we will be tomorrow
We have began to take that long
Journey of a Lifetime
