The Time Has Come to Walk
Posted: May 12, 2013
Reflections on a daughter's graduation from college…
It seems like only yesterday
I watched my little girl at play
amazed at her abilities
and dazzled by her charm.
In no time she was college-bound
convinced her school was holy ground
and from a distance I could see
she'd made the perfect choice.
Those halls of learning watched her reach
to grasp the truths of those who teach.
But now the time has come to walk
all clad in cap and gown.
And as I stand up to applaud,
I'll cheer with pride and praise to God
for guiding one so loved so far
toward this milestone.
This poem is dedicated to Lauren Star Asimakoupoulos who graduates today from Wheaton College Conservatory of Music with a degree in flute performance.
