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