The world wishes us a good morning &

we are the beginning & we have it good

& the sunshine beams bright

expressions upon our faces &

we work hard & we laugh & we rise

& curiosity pulls us like moths to light & our hearts swell & fly &

reach toward our days arising on the horizon

our dreams spring high among the clouds

& we are hurtling forward & are trying to make a mark on this earth for the better

& be able to look back fondly on these days & think

of our triumphs and tragedies & how this place formed us into who we are as people

& remember the people who surrounded & cared & helped us

to get through the years to here & so now we have made it & are off to a new chapter

in our journey & through there will be twists and turns, I think we’ll turn out alright

& we are a growing up if there is such a thing.   

A poem I wrote as an echo poem from the Ocean Poem by Matthew John Conely as seen in my blog post about poetry exercise. I was inspired by my brother's graduation. I used the sunrise  Sunrise  to replace the topic of place of the ocean.
