Welcome to my Garden:
This is a picture of our youngest grandson Jeremy. When he
graduated from high school. He is now in the Army and
medical school. In today's poem I want to honor all the
graduating seniors. The poem was written in June 1992
For our graduating class at church. Ron Stowe was the
youth minister and he asked me to write something for the
class. The graduates were: Tom Anderson, Georgia Crowson
John Lantz and Scott Paden. So, to all who are graduating
this month or have already graduated this is my advice to you.
REACH OUT FOR YOUR DREAM
Reach out for your dream
On your graduating day,
Stay on the right path
Make God's way, your way.
Do not dream of things
This world thinks are grand,
Look to your Savior,
For him make a stand.
Do not measure success
By this world's tarnished rule,
For Proverbs calls
Such a one a fool.
Measure your success
By the golden rule
And things you were taught,
While in Sunday School.
Reach out for your dream,
For your life, have a vision.
Make God's Word your guide,
For each important decision.
Look to the future,
But remember the past,
Seek not life's quick silver,
But things that will last.
Honesty and kindness,
A love that is true,
And all the good things in life,
Will surely come to you.
