Grad Dad

A moment in the sun…but I have no son
A tear in my eye…small drink of water
A flag fluttering…the battle’s been won
Proud Father awaits…stage walk of daughter
The clouds pass on by…crowd erupts in cheers
The names of the honored…float on the wind
The waiting’s been long…now I’ve no more fears
That which she earns today… one can’t rescind
I recall the first day… on her new bike
I remember the day when she turned ten
I cringe at teenage photos…anger spiked
Oft’ rocky road…I’d travel it again
Diploma in hand…beautiful to me
My little girl…for all the world to see
