Remembering Your Involvement

Janet Kuypers, 06/28/06

I vaguely remember
getting ready
for the National Honors Society
Inductions ceremony

I went to my induction ceremony
by myself
mom and dad two couldn’t make it

everyone’s parents were there
and I had to walk around the edge
of the hall

I think this was when
I had a lit candle
and all the new members
of the Honors Society
walked around with candles
for their induction

and everyone else’s parents were there
and I knew I was alone

but as I walked
with my candle
I saw the two of you seated there
sitting in the center back seats

I walked up to you after the ceremony ended
you said what you were doing
ended early
so you were able to make it

I still had to drive
the station wagon home by myself
but it was nice
that you came to see me that day
