Isn't it cool
after meticulous hours drenched in the pool of studies
with frivolous engagement in educational materials and tools
these set of people are now out of school
they were not rusticated or expelled
but they came, they saw and they conquered
You see success is a process
It's is not a birthright but a fight
they fully understood this so they went for light for height
and had only goal in sight
the storms indeed did rage but they never backed off their flight
they understood the importance of building a reading posture and culture
and slowly they are building a bright future
indeed the fragment of the pictures they once saw or imagined
is now a reality of capacity to birth more possibilities and not a caricature
of course the journey wasn't alright smooth, it was rough and tough
they were days when fear clustered in their hearts
and their eyes fought so hard not to muster a tear
they experienced lot of set backs, but to them every set back was a chance for them to bounce back
and make a great come back
there were days of hunger compiled with anger
there were days of chronic Sapa, when the garri the life saver itself was not present
they were once freshers like you
but they didn't allow themselves to be swayed away by distractions,
they didn't allow themselves to carried away by the trends
they created their own trend
and because of them today is a glorious occasion for a joyous celebration
they leave our university this day not as mere beings
but as personalities refined for humanity with high dignity
Happy Convocation Day
