On to the next thing

Our daughter graduated from college yesterday. Our chests were "puffed with pride." I never quite knew what that expression meant. Still, it sounds good.

So proud
So proud
We witnessed her
Walk on
To the next thing
Across the stage
On
To the next thing.
The next thing
Is different
For everyone.
Some think
They know exactly
What comes next.
Still
So proud
So proud
She takes one step
After another
Across that stage
So proud
So proud
We will see
Where she goes next.
