Graduation is a time to look back on memories, think about the upcoming future and for congratulations on a job well done. It's hard to come up with that perfect graduation gift, but sometimes, just some words from the heart is the best gift of all. Create a poem that tells of the graduate's past, hopes and dreams, and advice to give them for later. A graduation poem will be a gift that he/she can treasure for the rest of their life.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Find out when the graduation date of the graduate is. Give yourself enough time to compose this very personalized graduation gift.
Step2
Talk to the graduate-to-be. Ask him/her what their goals and dreams are. Record some of their thoughts about graduation and their upcoming future.
Step3
Speak with the graduate's parents or caregivers and speak about their childhood moments. Write down some of the funny and heartfelt memories.
Step4
Ask the graduate about their favorite moments in schools. What are some of the things that he/she wants to remember or forget? Record this information.
Step5
Read over all of the research that you gathered from the graduate and his/her family. Compose it to the graduate and even offer a bit of advice to give to them for their pending future too.
Step6
Type the poem on some colorful paper or designer graduation paper. Keep the font so that it is easy to read and then place it in a frame for gift-giving. Present the poem to the graduate after the ceremony has ended. They can treasure this personal gift for years to come and even use it as a referral for when times get tough after the graduation years.
