A limerick tribute to the class of 2025
by Dr. Michael Claxton
We all are so proud of you, grads,
Like your siblings, your moms and your dads!
Your teachers, it's true,
Know that God will guide you
Through your future — the goods and the bads.
The world is a messy old place—
It needs all your smarts and your grace.
With your talent you should
Be a strong force for good,
And we'll cheer as you enter the race.
So now you have had your big day,
With a hearty hip-hip and hooray!
You've grown through and through
And we've learned from you, too.
You have blessed us by coming our way.
May the Lord be with you always, Michael Claxton
