Be who you are and say what you feel, because thouse who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. -Dr. Seuss


I'm so proud of you
As we near the end of time.
I know you can do it
It's your time to shine.

Keep your head held high
Tears of victory you shall cry
Made it this far,so don't look back
Now spread your wings and fly.

So test your limits
Keep your heart intact.
Once you get a good start
Nothing can hold you back.

When you feel you're on your own
Giving up, no reason to try
Remember that I'm here for you

So don't forget to love
Always keep your spirit true
Eyes wide open to things unseen
Don't ever forget that I love you.

Even though it hurts
To say our goodbyes
Keep singing proud as you
Spread your wings and fly.
