One Day

A Poem by Middling

One day,
That seemed to last forever
Never to be Repeated again.

It seemed so far away
A long off distant day,

A lifetime gone by
So quickly and so fun
Of joy and of strife,
Bruised pride and confidence won
The circle of life
Has indeed come full circle.

Friends so dear and sincere
Today at least it all seemed so clear,
Friends of this life,
Not to be seen in the next
After all those lines of text.

We were born together into this new world
And now we leave it forever, together.
We have made our legacy
And now goodbye must be finally bade,
As our memories gradually fade
Into the mortar and the plaid.

Ivy pinned against a wall
Lead by the gardeners hand
We listened to his call
And flourished on the land.

Tutors lost but friends gained
No true emotions feigned,
This is the end,
Little can any spell or potion
Make this truth bend.

This is the end
But yet still a beginning,
No wounds to tend
No wagers to bet
All now is set.

We must start anew again
And go where we know so few
But remember those that we knew.

A never ending road
Lies spread about before us
Partners to be wed, families to be fed,
And great may be this load
But we must remember what we were told.
