To our big sister: Happy Graduation! Our guide and model, mentor, hero, friend; Older, wiser, yet of our generation, Understanding well the wayward wind! Rejoice, then, in this moment of transition: Becoming us no longer, moving on Into adulthood, a sensitive condition, Given that your childhood is gone. Still may you be for us the pioneer! In you we see ourselves as we will be, Singing down the hallways year by year, Taking care there'll always be a "we." Even as you lead, clear-eyed or blind, Remember that we're following behind.
