Graduation is a time
For feeling very proud,
For thinking lots of lovely thoughts
And saying them out loud.

It's a time for feeling love
About to overflow,
And just before it leaps its banks,
To let the loved one know.

And so we're very proud of you
For being who you are,
For making something of yourself,
For making it this far.

We're proud because we are a part
Of everything you do.
This time's the time to say how much
Love we have you.

(Note: Girl-or-boyfriends can simply change "we" to "I," and change the last line to, "In love I am with you.")
