Why is grass green? What does it taste like? "As a Dad, I know that for us, these are areas of both natural brilliance and acquired expertise," he added. "Today...above all, its a day to be thankful for your parents, your step-parents, those who have been as good-as-parents, and your grandparents," he told the class. "To them, I say look at what you did. You made these young men and women. You made them with your love, exhaustion, exasperation, imagination," he added. "Today then, as your newly-graduated son or daughter, crosses the lawn, You might find yourself catching your breathing at the turn of the head, a fleeting expression, that you know has its origins deep in generations, histories, secrets long past. He added: Here today are men and women who will go onto become leaders of corporations, or communities, perhaps even of countries.
