End of the Year

ode to my friends

 

The end of the year is drawing near.

A time to reflect on what has passed.

A time to remember the rough times we had

The easy days that came on time.

 

A few days from now and soon it will be over.

One more year shot down and only one more to go.

With changes come things most needed

Sometimes things unwanted stay forever

 

Forgetting the ones who tried pulling you down

It’s easy to overcome them

When you’ve got the friends that helped you year around

The ones who shaped you and found you

 

When they have gone and nothing’s left

Their lockers emptied, their books returned

The hallways vacant and ready to be filled

With future forgottens and nothing more.

 

When the final school bell rings

Will you remember those who left?

When the welcoming committee waves

Will you forget?
