Summers Near

As the school year draws to an end
We say goodbye to memories and fun of the past
As we say hello to summer.

So many cheer and rejoice
At the end of another year.
Whilst I sit idly by, dreaming of summer's end and the start of a new school year.

Don't get me wrong,
I enjoy summer fun as well.
But I far prefer the hallowed halls of my school.

True, we still have until the end of May,
But at that point,
It'll be the end of an era.

We will say goodbye
To friends and faces of the past
As we say hello to warm sunshine.

In the fall again,
We will say hello to friends
And catch up on Summer events

We will see new faces join us
Some shy and afraid
Some outgoing and happy.

As the school year draws to an end
We say goodbye to memories and fun of the past
As we say hello to summer.

This poem is dedicated to my school, friends, and teachers. I couldn't be happier where I am now; all the people I've met, all the things I've done. This school has helped me figure out who I am and where I'm going. Two dear people to me are leaving next year. Oh many others as well, but I will always miss these two high school English teachers. One of them helped me start this blog. One of them I have only seen in the hallways; she teaches an older high school age group. Yet I will miss both of them. I know now who I am, where I'm going, and what I'm meant to be. Without these two teachers, I wouldn't be the person I am now. I know it may sound ridiculous, but it is true.
So many of my wonderful friends are leaving. I think I speak for all of us when I say that those who leave us are never truly gone. They stay in our hearts forever. Forever and Always.
