Cara Elizabeth Fangman
Mercy High School
May 16, 2013
Today
the world sees
a new Cara—
a graduate—
but Dad sees
what credits,
scholarships,
and college choices,
(Good luck at Rockhurst!)
diplomas,
degrees,
and even distance
(Have fun in France!)
(Miss you in KC!)
can never change
or make more true.
Cara is—the best daughter—
Dad’s dream come true.
Cara—the small package
God delivered one
special spring
in April of ‘95.
Cara—today—with diploma in hand—
is still a small package—
is still special—
and now--
is smart,
funny,
and sexy, too! (Just ask her!)
But most of all
Cara is—to me—
on her graduation day—
like every other day—
the best daughter—
Dad’s dream come true.
