Congratulations!

Today is your day.

You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Oh! The places you’ll go!

You’ll be on your way up!

You’ll be seeing great sights!

You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

You’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know.

You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.

So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact

And remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act.

And will you succeed?

Yes! You will indeed!

(98 and ¼ percent guaranteed.)

Kid you’ll move mountains!

So…

Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting

So…..get on you way!
