[the Writing of Kuypers]
I vaguely remember
I went to my induction ceremony
everyone’s parents were there
I think this was when
and everyone else’s parents were there
but as I walked
I walked up to you after the ceremony ended
I still had to drive

Remembering Your Involvement
06/28/06
getting ready
for the National Honors Society
Inductions ceremony
by myself
mom and dad two couldn’t make it
and I had to walk around the edge
of the hall
I had a lit candle
and all the new members
of the Honors Society
walked around with candles
for their induction
and I knew I was alone
with my candle
I saw the two of you seated there
sitting in the center back seats
you said what you were doing
ended early
so you were able to make it
the station wagon home by myself
but it was nice
that you came to see me that day
