Standing
tall, chin firm, ready to go
Blue
eyes, looking forward, bright and bold
Proud
and playful, the smile does show
Standing
tall, chin firm, ready to go
Free
spirit, launching with wings aglow
Beauty
and brains break the mold
Standing
tall, chin firm, ready to go
Blue
eyes, looking forward, bright and bold
A woman
of strength is stepping forth
With
dreams to achieve, the world to change.
Her
heart beats firm with immeasurable worth
A woman
of strength is stepping forth
To make
an indelible mark upon the earth.
Stars
and possibilities are within her range
A woman
of strength is stepping forth
With dreams to achieve,
the world to change.
This style of poetry with the repetition and rotation of lines is known as a pantoon.
A poem was requested by Alicia (center) and Liz (right) as their graduation gift. This is their poem, but it does include Rachel (left), who graduated a year earlier
