Just some thoughts:
GRADUATION
In recent weeks the lives of all of us have been changed in many ways. One of them is the matter of graduations. Kindergarten, middle school, junior high, high school, college. Unfortunately many did not get the normal opportunities for celebration with family and friends.
So to each and everyone who was graduating, congratulations. Let me also steal a line from someone else. This past year I was fortunate to be in winning team’s dressing room after a college game. The team had played extremely well, pulled an upset. I so well remember what the coach said to his team. He praised them, spoke well of each of them and then the last thing he said “Guys as you leave here and go out into the public–wear this victory well.” So to all graduates wear your deserved recognition well.
“Capture the Moment”
We’ll take a picture, to capture the moment
we’ll hold it tight within our grasp, it won’t last
Time is moving swiftly forward, before we know it, you’ll be
grown, on your own. But where ever life takes you, wherever
you roam, not matter how long or how far away you go
You can always come home.
May the sad times and the heartaches, pass so quickly to
brighter days, along the way.
But when your heart is breaking
and you don’t know what to do and you just need some
comfort and someone to see you through,
You can always come home.
May your journey be filled with sunshine, amazing joy along
the way, every day. Your great adventure is just beginning
so much promise held in store, an open door
But wherever life takes you or wherever you roam,
no matter how long or how far you go,
You can always come home
We want to be your safe place to fall, your soft place to land.
We promise to listen and try to understand. We might
not say, “you’re right,” we might even say, “you’re wrong,”
But whether you’re right or wrong our open arms are
here for you, our whole life long.
Take a picture, capture the moment.
This song was written by a music teacher here in Williamson County, Tennessee, Mrs. Shelley Exler. I first heard the song a few years back at one of our grand kids graduations. I thought the song spoke so well to the emotions of such an event. Someone to listen, they may not agree, they may even tell you so, but you are welcome you can always come home.
So graduates, again congratulations. Wear it well.
We might not say “you’re right,” we might even say “you’re wrong” but the bottom line, you can always come home.
