    i've been looking for this poem since god knows when, and i realize im only 16...but i can't get it out of my head.

    the beginning is something like..

    raise your glass to the sky
    with hopes and dreams help high
    to the graduates i toast.

    if any of you can help me, that would be awsome!

    I googled it, here's what I found:

    Raise your glass to the sky

    With hopes and dreams held high.

    To the graduates I toast…

    Here’s to the friends we’ve lost and gained,

    And the people we’ll never know by name.

    To the bonds that we’ve made and albums we filled,

    Memories that may fade but never be killed.

    Here’s to the phone calls filled with tears,

    And to the hours spent talking away our fears.

    To the people we thought deserved our hearts,

    Whom now we bash and rip apart.

    Here’s to the pictures in frames with stories to say,

    That we will be sure to pack when we go away.

    To the football games we’ve watched beneath the lights,

    As our cheers and chants drifted into the night.

    Here’s to proms and dances,

    And high-school romances.

    To homecoming games,

    Even if the wins not in our name.

    Here’s to the late nights we’ve spent cramming for tests,

    And mornings where coffee made up for our rest.

    To the dances and events we took months to create,

    The nights before worries that came too late.

    Here’s to the tears we knew we’d cry,

    To the people and places we say good-bye.

    To the wild and bizarre things we’ve done,

    That we will remember to be the most fun.

    Here’s to the letters we left unsigned,

    May our identities be revealed all in due time.

    To the relationships we wonder how we ever lived without,

    And the crushes we look back on and laugh about.

    So now it is time to place our glasses down,

    Put our caps on and turn our tassels around.

    Listen for our names and let them echo through

    And realize how fast these four years just flew.
