He earned that eighth-grade moment, the cap, the cheers, the light,
Even when the days were heavy, and nights were filled with quiet fright.
With steady steps and courage, through loss he carried through,
He crossed that stage victorious, exactly as only he could do.
Though sorrow shadowed part of the year, he still held hope inside,
With strength beyond his age, and his family at his side.
This moment shines a little brighter, because he fought to see it through,
And crossed that stage triumphant, exactly as only he could do.
