Grandparents and Grandchildren Together: Grandchildren Graduation Poems
How Do You Get From Here to There?
How do you get from here to there?
Well, you first must believe you can
Let no one tell you differently~
It’s your life and it’s in your hands.
Then turn your dreams into your goals
And see what you need now
To satisfy the requirements:
The why, the where and how.
At first you’re overwhelmed, of course;
There’s so much for you to know.
But keep your faith, be strong and sure,
For you do have a way to go.
Take careful steps and do them right,
Take pride in each thing done.
Don’t look too far ahead of yourself,
Just that next step yet to come.
Before you know it you’ll be there,
Your dream will then be real.
And you’ll be standing where I am now,
Telling others how good it feels.
You’ll tell them not to quit themselves,
To have faith, though it’s hard to bear.
So they will know it can be done~
They, too, can get from here to there.
