Give me just this moment, please, forever. Replicate it for me on demand. As I flow unceasingly downriver, Do not make me leave this day behind. Understand my bittersweet confusion As graduation crystallizes youth, Tallying my treasures with precision, Illuminating wistfully my wealth. Out of all my moments pluck this one, Nor let me lose its grace until I'm gone.
