Congratulations on Graduation
An Essay Poem by: Leni Marlina
Beneath the bright sky of wisdom,
You stride with pride anew.
Graduates with spirits ablaze,
Your tassel flutters like wings of dreams.
Your eyes gleam, your smile blooms,
Calm gaze, confident, with a hint of sweat.
Echoes linger in your ears,
Professors' voices, cool as breeze,
Greeting your mind with profound knowledge,
Their words flow like a clear river,
Reviving motivation, dreams,
Persistent in your goals.
In your vision, still etched,
Thesis advisors and examiners,
Coloring thoughts with knowledge,
Sturdy pillars,
Strengthening you with wise counsel,
Invaluable wisdom.
Your eyes witness,
Majestic campus buildings stand tall,
Loyal guardians of your struggles,
Walls harbor tales,
Of dreams you chased with burning resolve.
The sports field, arena of dreams,
Spirit blazing in every game,
Green grass tickling running feet,
Teaching teamwork, true sportsmanship.
Library, your favorite place, forest of knowledge,
Shelves like trees laden with fruit,
Each book a fruit of wisdom,
Journey across the world,
Quenching your thirst for knowledge.
Campus garden, where you relax, trees whisper softly,
Welcoming fatigue,
With soothing tranquility,
A place to unwind after classes.
Behind every effort, soft prayers whisper,
Hopes and dreams soar high,
Like free birds in the sky,
To family, you are a bright star in dark night,
Adorning the sky with warm light.
Behind all this,
Powerful hands,
Parents at home, willing to work hard, sacrifice,
With sweat and tears,
Realizing your dreams,
So you stand today in the auditorium,
At the peak of pride.
