More Than A Piece of Paper

Degrees are said to be just pieces of paper, Just something to show off to others, But to me it is more than a piece of paper, It is about heartaches that I’ve been through, Heartbreaks and dreams broken, Paths made and remade and changed To different of what was originally planned, Of meeting lost loves again for the first time, And finding the truth of life and love Through all its various emotions, About finding and losing love, About finding my own way, About finding true love In it’s truest form after much searching. Walking down the aisle After calling my name, Knowing that I accomplished what no one else Could ever do in my family, Knowing I finally made it after 5 years Of going through and changing degree specialty once, Going through the hardest time with my asthma yet Finding a way to graduate when I planned, And although through simple and hard times And no matter what I had to go through, I had finally made it, And that is why it is more than a piece of paper.

I sat down and cried today, I just didn’t want to smile today, I found out you were gone today And I couldn’t stop thinking of the last time we talked today, I remember how you were going to help me with a friend, To get her out of the place she hated even though you had to work The night before hand, I remember all the times in chat on the game we played And how we all would laugh from your funny words, And how you were a great leader and friend on the game, And that is why I sat down and cried today, I lost a friend that was dear to me and found out today, I sat and cried today And you will be forever remembered my friend today, And forever because you me
