With cap and gown you are robed
The picture of beauty and success
Eyes bright and radiant with joy
And that sparkle only you possess
It’s surreal for me to watch
As you take to the stage
It feels like you’ve barely started
But here you are turning the high school page
I hope you are proud to be here today
For you have done so well, more than I can say
I rarely fail for words
But today it’s not easy
To form feelings and thoughts
And not come out just plain cheesy
But how am I supposed to tell
How proud and amazed
And happy and blessed
I am to be raised
With a sister so gracious
And honest and kind
And, I’ve said it before,
The best friend I could find
I am blessed beyond words Sis, to have you around
And I dread the coming year as you head out of town
But my dear, you are blessed
For God is your guide
He has plucked you up in His hand
And you are along for the ride
Look where He has brought you
For truly it was Him
Who gave you your passion, perseverance,
And that joy none can dim
I am excited to be here
To watch you and pray
That you follow His leading
And find peace in His way
Danae, you are strong
Because your peace is in Him
You know your true purpose
You can face both easy times and grim
And so as you pass on from high school
Don’t ever have fear
Just make God’s glory your center
And keep Him always near
