Standout Grad



At a graduation ceremony
sitting amidst all colours
and not just a few homies
watching the grads enjoy their valor

Distressed as I looked down the long line
at the modern dress - quite the trend
short, scant, sheer, revealing
they had no clue as to how embarrassing

But there was one who stood out
shining bright among the crowd
one could easily tell she was different
shown as a real Christian - volume loud

Long beautiful dress; holy
bright shining face
clean, not hidden by makeup; a trophy
allowing to shine thru; Gods' Grace

Her actions, demeanor, stance all pure
plainly visible, demure
what she was advertising showed clear
of Salvation, a Savior she held dear

Shining so bright in a world so dark
reminds one of Noah and the ark
telling, showing, being an example
to all those around in a shamble

One in a group of a hundred plus
among all, only one, displaying Gods' trust
One who made proud - mother and dad
the only one - Standout Grad
